A VHS alumni site
I received an invitation the other day to register at http://www.venturaalumni.com/ and was impressed with what I found when I checked it out. Here's some information from the home page of the organization that runs the site (and many others):
"As our name implies we take a far more serious and long term approach to building alumni sites. You can find a multitude of companies offering the same basic features such as a class directory, reunion post, message post and perhaps some limited photo uploading capability. But these features are hardly comprehensive and provide little or no long term value to the alumni.
"Schools and their sponsored organizations can now maintain an active prescence with all registered alumni! As a School News Reporter you can post important information on fundraisers, retirement ceremonies, alumni events and other news within minutes! Simply locate your school from the list and look for the School News Reporter registration link."
The home page is at http://www.alumniarchive.net/
When I checked today (feb. 28), the site included 68 California schools, including Buena, Camarillo, Oxnard and Ventura high schools. It looks like it might be worthwhile to register and check the site periodically. As of now, at least, there is no cost.
