Alumni Association

Note: the Alumni Association was disbanded in March 2011,
after the last class reunion.

The Website will continue to be available until mid-2012, when the FM56.org domain expires

Class Association Purpose

The purpose of the Fayetteville-Manlius High School (Class of) '56 Class
Association is to bring members of the 1956 Graduating Class of
Fayetteville-Manlius High School together for the purposes of:

      1. Disseminating pertinent contact/family information, annually, among Asociation members,
      2. Providing semi-annual information to Association members as to class news, activities (formal or informal) and information of general class interest,
      3. Maintaining a class website (www.FM56.ORG) under technical control of a Class Webmaster,
      4. Maintaining a (variable) fund for distribution to Association members at the time of subequent formal class reunions (pro-rata) to defray their personal registration costs.(Notwithstanding membership in the "Association", ALL class members will receive one piece of correspondence from the Association Secretary annually.)"

      Eligibility

    Eligible for FULL membership are those individuals who graduated from FMHS on 6/22/56, or in selected cases, those having a valid FMHS diploma (or GED) dated between 6/22/56 and 12/31/56.

    ASSOCIATE status is open to those persons having been in the class at any time from 9/1/52 and 6/22/56 but who are not graduates of the Class of 1956 based on the full membership definition."

Member Benefits

For your dues you will receive an annual class roster, at least two newsletters per year, support maintenance of the class website with it's own domain name, AND support the planning functions and non-personal costs of the next reunion--in this case perhaps 2002, and if not (cumulatively), 2006. In the latter case excess funds will be used to offset (non-personal) reunion general registration costs.

Finances

Jay Hern has opened a FM56 account at the F&M Bank in Vienna, Virginia. Initial deposit included residual Travel Club funds and Class Association dues received to date. The account is free checking at present and once the balance reaches $1250 it will revert to an interest bearing account (I suspect in about 2 years based on reasonable participation).

Jay will be accounting for all funds in their appropriate catagories. The Newsletter Editor should send collected funds to me expeditiously for deposit and in the future request budgetary withdrawal for subsequent costs/editions. Funds will be accounted for in the following categories: Roster/Gen'l Info, Web Maintenance, Newsletter, and General Revenue (Reunion support).
