October 18, 2024
Dear Alumnus/Friend:
We are excited to announce that the 2024 NCHSAA Reunion will be held on August 9-11, 2024, at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel, Norfolk, VA. I hope that you will join us for this special occasion to reconnect with your classmates.
This year, we regret to inform you that due to inflation and cost of living there will be an increase in the Registration Fee. Almost daily, as you all have noticed, we are subjected to increases in the cost of food, gas, housing, clothing, and other essentials. The Executive Board has diligently made efforts to minimize the Registration Fee increase. The increase will cover the expenses for the venue, dining, hospitality, entertainment, and other services.
Therefore, the 2024 Reunion fee will be $275.00 per person. I understand that this may be financially challenging for some, but I hope that you will see it as an investment in your memories and friendships. I assure you that the Reunion will be worth your investment. Further, if you desire you can make payments monthly, bi-monthly, or whatever fits your circumstances. Prayerfully, this will have less impact on your budget. However, if you wish to pay the full amount in one payment, please feel free to do. Unfortunately, this year there will not be an Early Bird Registration Fee.
If you are interested in attending, please, if possible, respond on or before Saturday, December 9, 2023, with a deposit of $50.00 or more. The deposit is important for making arrangements for the Reunion.
The final payment for all registrations must be received not later than Saturday, June 22, 2024. If your full payment is not received by June 22, 2024, there is no guarantee that you will receive a Souvenir Booklet, T-Shirt, or Reunion Bag. Absolutely, positively – NO MONEY WILL BE RECEIVED AT THE HOTEL!
Receipts will be forwarded upon receipt of each payment. Make check or money order payable to NCHSAA and mail to: NCHSAA, P. O. Box 1223, Eastville, VA 23347-1223. Read all enclosures carefully and please return the Registration Form with your deposit/payment. PLEASE MAKE YOUR MENU SELECTION FOR EACH PERSON IN ATTENDANCE FOR SATURDAY’S DINNER ON THE ATTACHED REGISTRATION FORM.
If you have any questions or concerns about the Reunion or registration fee increase, please feel free to contact me at nchsreunion2024@gmail.com. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Thank you for your continued support and loyalty to our alma mater. I look forward to seeing you at the 2024 Reunion August 9, 2024! Mark your calendar today!!!
In the Golden Bull Spirit,
Felton T. Sessoms, President

"The Thomas Ferdinand and Annie Sue Fisher Wynder Fund"
The NCHS Alumni Association Foundation is pleased to announce that a new focus fund has been established by the Wynder family in memory of their parents. The new fund will be known as "The Thomas Ferdinand and Annie Sue Fisher Wynder Fund". It has been established to assist students in advancing their education to learn a craft or to pursue a skilled trade career. The Foundation is grateful to the Wynder family for remembering both their parents and the children of Northampton County in this special way.
Initial contributions were made also as a memorial to their daughter and our NCHS alumni friend, Margaret Sue Culpepper (nee: Wynder), who passed in October. Alumni Association members are urged to enhance this fund by making contributions of any amount to "NCHS Alumni Association Foundation, Inc.", noting that the contribution is to be credited to the Wynder Fund. Mr. and Mrs. Wynder's daughter, Barbara, was instrumental in establishing this fund. Thanks to Barbara for her inspiration.
