AHS Alumni Association “Spring Fling” Membership Drive

Alumni, friends and family are invited to the Anaheim High School Alumni Association (AHSAA) “Spring Fling Membership Drive Kick-Off Party” to be held June 16 at the newly opened Founders’ Park.

The event, set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will mark the Alumni Association’s fourth year of incorporation and help raise funds for student scholarships, campus improvement projects and preservation efforts. Through alumni contributions, the AHSAA has donated $35,000 to these efforts.

The “Spring Fling” will also provide Colonists with an occasion to celebrate Anaheim ‘s rich heritage with docent-led tours of the Mother Colony House built in 1857, the Woelke-Stoffel House, a two-story Queen Anne built in 1894 during Anaheim’s citrus era, and the new Carriage House and Pump House, typical outbuildings in 19th century Anaheim.

Founders’ Park, located adjacent to the school’s athletic field at 400 N. West St., is also home of the City’s first Landmark Tree, a Moreton Bay Fig that provides expansive shade for those exploring the park’s walk ways and trails which feature interpretive signage telling the story of Anaheim’s pioneers.

Refreshments will be served. The annual AHSAA membership fee is $25. Parking at Founders Park is limited and will be designated for seniors. Others are asked to park along West and Sycamore streets or in the school parking lot.
