Many of you are registering on the site without becoming a paid member of the BAS Association. You may be asking "what am I getting for the cost of a $50 lifetime membership?"  As stated in our mission statement the association's major objective is to enhance and preserve the image, prestige and traditions of Brownsville Area Schools (BASD) to include BAHS, Brashear HS, Redstone HS and other schools in the Brownsville Area. Other objectives/goals include:

• Promote and support the annual BAS Distinguished Alumni Awards.
• Promote and support the BAS Annual luncheon in June.
• To fund the BASD scholarship program for deserving qualified seniors.
• To support the newly formed Brwonsville Area Education Foundation in enhancing the educational opportunities of Brownsville area students.

Another major objective is to have a centralized social network community  for all BAS alumni at our newly developed website. Brownsville alumni are trying to connect with each other at various sites (Facebook, Classmates.com, AlumniClass.com, MySpace, etc) and our goal is to bring you all together right here at our site.  With your membership and input, we will be able to effectively accomplish our endeavors that will benefit BASD, BAS Alumni and the Brownsville community.

So we urge you to "come on board" and become a member of the association and help us do great things for our school.  The membership fees will assist us in accomplishing our goals/objective.           Thanks!

We finally have a "working" board for the alumni association in hopes that we can jumpstart our organization and reach our goals and objectives.  The following are our board members:

President: Kevin Fortuna (78)

New members are registering without completing your biography.  Here's your chance to update everyone on what is happening in your life. Write something about yourself in the blank box of your profile area such as:

• Where did you live during HS?
• Who did you hang out with during HS?
• Where do you live now and what are you doing?
• What are your fondest memories of HS?
• What have you done since you left HS?
• Your military service info, if any.
• What are your hobbies?
• College / special training received
• Marital/family status info: spouse, kids, grand kids, pets, etc.
• Other comments you wish to make

We need your biography in your profile so Ron Paglia, columnist  for local newspapers in the Browsville area, has references to contact and write short articles about our alumni for the web site. So many alumni have and are accomplishing some great things that the rest of us wish to hear about. So please take the time to tell us about yourself.   Please post THEN and NOW photos in your profile or send photos to me and I will post them for you.   We need photos for our Photo Gallery.

Thanks.
 

This is to alert NEW MEMBERS that we are NOT theAlumniclass.com website which is linked to the Brownsville Area School District (BASD) website. This site has no official connection to Brownsville area schools and is a site similar to classmates.com which services all US states/schools. The annual payments on these sites do not have any official connection to BASD and they do not use their fees to support the school. I have no idea where this money goes to.

We are the OFFICIAL Brownsville Area Schools (BAS) alumni association with over 200 alumni members that has been in existence since 2000 and was formed by BHS classmates (most alumni do not know it even exists). The Association has reorganized with a new Board of Directors, new By Laws, etc. and launched our new web site for an online community this April to reach out to Brownsville Area Schools alumni who have joined these other nonofficial Brownsville alumni websites.

Payments to our site are Lifetime fees, rather than annual fees,and are used by us to support the alumni members with access to our website, a hard copy newsletter to older members who do not have a computer or access to the website, an annual luncheon in June, a Distinguished Alumni Award banquet in September and to support BASD with scholarships for Brownsville students; support the BASD new Foundation Program and maintain the tradition of BASD to name just a few goals. We hope to resolve this confusion soon!

We offer a corporate/sponsors fee of $100 annually and will post your logo, business card or ad of your choice on our website. Your support will offset our annual website fees. .
