Hello classmates!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2006 has been off to a great start! Hard to believe that by year's end, we'll have had our 10 YEAR REUNION!! I'll keep you posted on details about that as they become available. I only have about 100 email addresses for our class right now, so obviously we're going to have to track a bunch of people down. If you're still in touch with classmates and they haven't been receiving these emails from me, please have them send me their email address and I'll add them to our contact list. You can also refer them to this page. I'll be keeping it updated with the info.

The Chelmsford High School Alumni Association will be publishing its spring newsletter very soon, and we'd love to share your news in the Class of 1996 section of Class News!

Please take a moment to email me with anything you'd like to share. Marriages, engagements, births, graduation, new job, fun vacation, or just say hi and tell us what you've been up to lately!

The deadline for submission is Friday, January 16.

Just a reminder that if you'd like to join the CHSAA for just $10/year, email me and I'll give you the details how!

Take care,
Jessica :)

Bridge Dedication

This Saturday 5/7/05 at 2pm the bridge on North Rd. overpassing Rt. 495 will be dedicated in the memory of our classmate Andrew Zabierek. It is my understanding that people are going to be gathering on the grass at the fork of North Rd. and Worthen St. in front of Blake Funeral Home.

Spring Update

Greetings classmate!

Last night, the Chelmsford High School Alumni Association had our annual Scholarship Awards Night in the CHS gymnasium and over 60 scholarships were awarded to CHS seniors and alumni. Memorial scholarships in the name of our classmates Andrew Zabierek and Michael Caito were awarded for the first time. Donations to those scholarships are welcome at any time. See previous post below for more information.

The Lions Pride summer newsletter is going to press soon, and the deadline for sharing your news for the Class of 1996 Class News section is FRIDAY, MAY 13! If there's something new in your life or something interesting you've done recently that you'd like to share, please email me back by next Friday.

The Chelmsford High School Alumni Association always welcomes new members for just $10/year or $40/5 years. Please email me back for a membership application if you'd like to join.

Can you believe its just 18 months until our 10-YEAR REUNION?!?

Take care,
Jessica :)

CHSAA Memorial Scholarships

A reminder that memorial scholarships have been set up for both Mike Caito and Andrew Zabierek through the CHSAA. Any donations you'd like to make should be mailed to the CHSAA office @ 200 Richardson Rd. Chelmsford, MA 01863. Please make sure to indicate which scholarship you wish to donate to in the "memo" field. All checks should be made payable to CHSAA. Please email me if you have any questions about this.

Thanks,
Jessica McSheehy Del Llano

CHSAA 4th of July parade float

I have been appointed chair of the Chelmsford High School Alumni Association 4th of July float committee! The committee right now consists of...well, just me, and I can't do this by myself, so that's why I need you!

We've got a flatbad truck, and now we need a theme and a volunteer crew of alumni (family and friends of alumni, too) to plan and create this masterpiece! If you're interested in being part of the planning committee, it won't be a huge time committment (maybe 2 meetings). However, once work begins on the float (depending on the theme that's ultimately chosen) we're going to need a nice big crew of volunteers ready to get their hands dirty. I'd really appreciate any time you can give!

I want this to be a huge success for the CHSAA! Its going to be FUN!!

Please let me know if you'd like to be involved, and in what capacity. Thanks!!

Take care,
Jessica McSheehy Del Llano :)

P.S. The 2005 4th of July parade is happening on Saturday, July 2.

Tina (Gehr) Mendoza

We send our best wishes to classmate Tina (Gehr) Mendoza, who is preparing to deploy to Iraq until April 2006.

Please keep Tina and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

If anyone would like to send Tina well-wishes, I have an email address for her that she will be checking while in Iraq.

Take care,
Jessica McSheehy Del Llano

CHSAA fall newsletter

Dear Classmates,
I apologize for the short notice, but this deadline snuck up on me. The Chelmsford High School Alumni Association is about to publish its fall issue of The Lions Pride newsletter. If you have any news you'd like to share, please email me by next Friday, September 17.

News can be anything about yourself, including (but not limited to):
-where you're currently living
-where you currently work or attend school
-engagements/weddings/babies
-recent vacations, interesting hobbies
-or just say hi, share your email address and let classmates know you'd love to hear from them

Andrew Zabierek

I have a special request to anyone who might be interested in writing a short piece for the newsletter about Andrew Zabierek. I think it would be best coming from someone who knew him well. If you are interested, please let me know. Again, I apologize for the short notice. I hope those of you who were close with him will consider it.

Michael Caito Memorial Scholarship Fund

The family of Mike Caito has started the Michael Caito Memorial Scholarship Fund for the CHS Alumni Association. If you are interested in making a donation in any amount towards the scholarship, please send a check made payable to CHSAA (with a short note indicating it should go towards Mike's scholarship fund) to:
CHSAA
200 Richardson Rd.
Chelmsford, MA 01863
Attn: George Simonian

New members! Yay!

We have gained 2 new members since I started this grassroots campaign to increase the Class of 1996's presence in the CHSAA. Since we started with only 9 members, every single new member counts and is greatly appreciated. A 1-year membership is only $10 (5 years for $40). Click on the link under the picture of the Lion on this page for the membership application and more information about the association.

I hope you all are well, and look forward to receiving your news to share in the newsletter!

Take care,
Jessica McSheehy Del Llano

More on Mike Caito

Here's a link to the Lowell Sun story on Mike Caito.

Michael Caito

Unfortunately, I am the bearer of more sad news. Michael Caito passed away this past weekend. I'm sorry I don't have details beyond that at this time. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends. If you're hoping to attend any services that may be planned, my suggestion would be to check The Lowell Sun website for details, as I assume a notice will be posted there in the near future. Nothing was posted as of today, Thursday 7/1/04.

Take good care,
Jessica McSheehy Del Llano

Membership update

So far, no new memberships in the CHS Alumni Association from the class of 1996. Don't delay! I know plenty of you have every intention of joining up. You can download the membership application right from the menu on the right side of this page. Mail it in with $10 and you're all set for a year (or $40 for 5 years).

The Class of 2004 (who haven't even walked in graduation yet) already have more members in the CHSAA than we do.

We really can do better than that.

Take care,
Jessica McSheehy Del Llano

Andrew Zabierek

It is with great sadness that I tell you that we have lost a classmate. Andrew Zabierek was killed when he was struck by a vehicle Friday night, while serving in the Marine Corps in Iraq. We have no details yet about funeral services, but I'm certain that information will be available in the Lowell Sun in the coming days. You may access the Lowell Sun online at www.lowellsun.com. Below is a link to the article about this tragedy.

Lowell Sun article

My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who were close with Andy. This is a great loss to the class of 1996.

Take good care,
Jessica

Happy Spring! It’s newsletter time!

The Chelmsford High School Alumni Association newsletter, The Lion’s Pride, is about to publish its summer issue and needs news on what the Class of 1996 is up to. The deadline is May 14th to submit your news to me (but the sooner, the better).

It'd be great if you could email me with a blurb about your life, work, adventures, whatever. Even if you just want to say you’d love to hear from people and post your email address. That’s cool.

The most common entries go like this:

Classmate A is living in Hudson, NH and works as a marketing rep for a large chain of furniture stores. She’s engaged to Random Guy with plans for a June wedding in Chelmsford.

OR

Congratulations to Classmate B, who ran the Boston Marathon in April for the second time! He lives in Brookline, MA and encourages former classmates to get in touch with him at classmateB@email.com.

Seriously, one or two lines are all you need (but feel free to tell us more). Here are some ideas to get you started. You don’t have to get detailed.

-Where are you living?
-Where do you work?
-Still in school? What are you studying?
-Have any recent accomplishments you want to brag about?
-Are you engaged or married?
-Do you have any children?
-Have you taken any fun vacations recently?
-Post your email address/website

Share your news!

You can join the Chelmsford High School Alumni Association (and receive The Lion’s Pride newsletter) by downloading the membership application from the link on the right of this page.

I hope all is well!

Thanks,
Jessica :)

Please send me your email address!

Thanks for checking out this page. If you're here, you probably received one of those annoying "Classmates Mail" things from me. The thing is, classmates.com won't give out your email address, so if I'm going to get in touch with anyone listed there, it has to be through classmates mail and honestly, it totally sucks. I'd appreciate if you'd email me so that at least I know what your correct email address is, and I promise I won't give it out, or endlessly SPAM you. I just want to have a contact list, especially come reunion time. We'll definitely want to be able to reach you then!

Update 3/12/04: I have 80 email addresses so far in our class contact list, but we've got a long way to go! If you're still in touch with other classmates, it would be greatly appreciated if, along with your own email address, you could send me a list of those of any other classmates you have in your email address book.

Thanks! Keep reading below for more info...
