It is with deep regret, we accept the resignation of Mike Baratto '62 as a member of Board of the CCS Alumni Association.  We greatly appreciate the work Mike has done over the years.

Mike was a member of the alumni board that organized the first All-School reunion on 23-July-2005. In addition, he has been the heart and soul of the Orange and Black Golf Scramble from its inception in 2005 through this year's 5th annual tournament.

Mike has tirelessly participated in alumni committee activities and was instrumental in establishing the CCS Alumni Scholarship which resulted in the first three awards this past June. Mike's job and coaching duties have increased to the point that he no longer can contribute to the alumni committee at the high energy level with which he attacks every responsibility (hey, Mike, I thought you were going to slow down when you retired!).

The Alumni Association is looking for new board members. We meet the first Saturday of each month in the CCS High School Library from 10am to noon. We plan, we talk, we reminisce. We work with the Student Council to host the alumni on Homecoming and on Friday night of the Reunion Weekend. We plan the events for the Reunion Weekend, send invitations, and collect the funds. We plan and sell items such as the cookbook, ornaments, hats and T-shirts to raise money for alumni events. We sponsor the local adult basketball and volleyball programs. We provide Pauline a glimpse of life in Cambridge and CCS for her to post on the website to keep the alumni in touch.

If you are interested in joining the board or in finding out more about what's involved, please contact Ken Gottry '68, president (ken@gottry.com or 315.383.5249). You're welcome any time to drop by one of our meetings just to get the feel of things.

Don't worry, we won't ask you to try to fill Mike's shoes. No one ever could. Thanks, Mike, for all you've done.
