Ottawa Hills Foundation




Alumni The Ottawa Hills Foundation wishes to help alumni keep in touch with each other and to keep you informed of alumni events. 2008 Reunions - Classes Ending in "8" and "3" Class of 1948 (& '49 friends) Class of 1958 Class of 1978 Class of 1988 Class of 1956 - Gals only - special outing in Arizona Class of 1957 - special outing in Montana If this is a reunion year for you, don't miss the opportunity to get together with classmates and friends! You organize the event, send us the information, and we will post the information here on the website. Please email us information about your reunion: dates & times, places, contact name, telephone & email. Alumni Info Update Please complete and submit your info for our alumni database. We have been working on establishing a database that can be used by alumni to communicate with their old classmates. It is free, functional and secure. For now, we have found that Facebook, the networking website that many of the teenage kids have found to be so useful, is already being used by some of our alumni for this very purpose, with positive reviews. There are already 3 "groups" on Facebook tied to Ottawa Hills. One is specifically for alumni, and is limited to those that graduated prior to 1985 (so older alums are not in the same group as those their children's ages.) Facebook is infinitely more versatile than websites that charge money for classmates to find one another, post information and network with each other. See why millions of young people, and an ever-increasing number of older people, use this website on a daily basis. If you are among the baby-boom generation, the group for you to join is called "Ottawa Hills Alumni" and can be found - just click here. The first step is to become a (free) member of Facebook. Once a member, you may join our Alumni Group (and thousands of other groups.) Most people also join a Network (place where they live or work). There is no need to complete one's Profile when you sign up. Profiles can be put together at your leisure.
