THE ALUMNI DINNER
Each year, the Saturday after Graduation, the Fillmore Alumni Association holds its anniversary dinner celebration and presents a “Reunion of Memories” (the dinner's theme). All graduates and friends of Fillmore High School are welcome and invited to attend this yearly event.
The 2009 Alumni Dinner is June 6th, 2009!
Reservations are already coming in for the 2009 Fillmore High Alumni Dinner, which will be held this year in the Veteran's Memorial Building in Fillmore. Class reunions are being held for the classes of 1934, 1944, 1949, 1954, 1959, and 1969. There will be special tables provided for the honor classes before the dinner and during the dinner to provide ample time for visiting with classmates as well as those from other classes who attend. Pre-dinner visiting begins at 4:00 p.m and will last until 11:00 p.m, with dinner, which will be prepared by Gary Laird Catering, will be served at 6:00 p.m. Introductions of special guests, members of the Honored Classes mentioned above, and the introductions of the 2009 Alumni Scholarship recipients will be made. Many comments have been received from alumni members that they are pleased that the dinner is returning to the Memorial Building. We look forward to seeing many alumni members at this dinner, so please get your dinner reservations in soon.

The 2009 Fillmore High Alumni Dinner will be held Saturday, June 6 back at the Fillmore Memorial Building after being held for several years at the city park. Many people are pleased with this change back to a place that has many memories for many alumni members. Going back in years, grads can remember sitting at tables and benches made from picking boxes and one by twelves in the old tennis courts where the cafeteria is now, and in the area between the cafeteria and gym, and on the igh school quad before moving to the Memorial Building.
By moving back to the Memorial Building, we will be able to have the area outside for pre-dinner visitations, be able to hang all the class pictures on the walls, as before, and will have areas for visiting after the dinner. We hope everyone will stay around long after the dinner is over so more time can be spent getting acqainted and re-acquainted with former classmates and friends.
The Board of Directors of is very excited about returning to the Memorial Building. We look forward to seeing everyone there on June 6th.
Class Reunions
Submitted by Dick Mosbarger on September 29, 2008 - 11:24am.The Board of Directors of the Fillmore High Alumni Association is encouraging all classes who are planning class reunions this year to include the alumni dinner as part of their reunion. If a class does not want to spend the time, money and effort putting on a separate get-to-gether, we encourage you to plan to use the alumni dinner on June 6 as your reunion site.
The patio area of the Memorial Building is a great spot to meet people and visit prior to the dinner, and areas will also be available after the dinner for more visiting. Table areas will be set up for Honored Classes, whose graduation year ends in 4 or 9.
We feel that this way of holding a class reunion is much simpler and less expensive than holding a separate reunion on a separate night.
Classes already planning a class reunion for 2009 are the classes of 1959 with Bob Morris in charge and the combined class reunion of 1978 and 1979, with Tricia Urrea Gradias and Mark Ortega planning that meeting. If any other classes with their graduation year ending in 4 or 9 are planning a reunion, please let the alumni office know and we will include your information in Flashbacks, in the local newspaper and on the alumni website.
