            2007 VHS Yearbooks are on sale.  Call the School at 935-2100, extension 128, and leave a message for Ms. Chilovich that you would like to order a yearbook.  The cost per book is $42.  The yearbook is also selling advertisements for the 2007 Yearbook.  If you would like to purchase an ad for your business or a graduating Senior, you may still purchase ads until the end of May.

 

            During 2009, the Village of Valmeyer will celebrate its Centennial.  Valmeyer was officially founded as a Village in 1909.  To commemorate this celebration, I am working on the publication of a history book for the Village.   I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has any photographs of the Village throughout its history, from the earliest of times to current years.  Photos of buildings, activities, holiday festivals, cultural events – whatever you may have – all time periods and all events are important in documenting the history of Valmeyer.  Photos will be borrowed long enough to scan and then will be immediately returned to the owners.  Compiling this book will take some time, so that is the reason for the early start.  If you have any information to contribute, please contact me at 935-2142 or by email at knobloch@htc.net.  Thanks, Dennis.
