We had 301 Packer Backers buy a “membership” in our first Packers 500 Club! We want to thank each of you for making our first year possible. At the time this issue was published, winners had been drawn for June, July, and August - that’s 33 winners who have already received a prize check. Those winners are listed on page 8. Congratulations! And good luck to all the members in the remaining nine months of drawings.

CLASS REUNION CHALLENGE Everyone might be a smidge biased when saying that their class is the very best class. Well, starting in 2019, we are going to give official bragging rights to the best class! The Top of the Pack Class Reunion Challenge is kicking off in January. Find out how you can help your class be the best on page 15. We will also be rolling out some new options to assist SHS reunion committees with planning their reunions. See page 15 For more details on how your alumni association can help you.
