“We are looking for Galion graduates who have made significant contributions to their communities or to their respective field,” said Alumni Association president Brian Treisch. “Many of our current students are not aware of the success many Galion graduates have had after they complete their education here in Galion. All of the organizations agree that students need to be aware of the opportunities out there and the great accomplishments made by many of our graduates.”

The recognition dinner is part of a homecoming celebration being planned by the cooperative efforts of the Galion City Schools, the Galion Community Education Foundation, the Galion Alumni Association, the Galion Booster Club, the Galion Tiger Alumni Band, and the Galion Community Foundation. Representatives of all of these organizations have formed a synergy committee to work on this project and to identify other areas in which combined organizations can cooperate. “There is common ground yet very separate areas of focus for each of these organizations,” said Treisch. “It is vital that we work together when a common cause can be identified.

More details of the events planned for this special weekend and awards dinner will be made public as the date comes closer. Tentative plans for this weekend include a career day, featuring Galion graduates talking about their careers on Friday, a golf tournament to raise funds for the planning study, Alumni Band Night at the football game, and the aforementioned dinner.
