The Committee urges all former students, friends and the community to participate in this celebration, not only by attending, but by making a contribution to the event. She has requested no gifts.

We have planned a "Memory Box" filled with personal notes from anyone who wishes to contribute a note or letter expressing to Miss Ruth his/her personal feelings throughout the years. These can be mailed or brought to the party. These notes will give Miss Ruth many hours of pleasure as she continues her life as an icon of this community. She deserves to be recognized in this community and for the many avenues of the educational globe.

Each of you can contribute by making a donation to help offset the expenses of the event. Monies collected will be put in a special account (Miss Ruth Johnson's 100 Birthday Party). Any excess funds will be donated to an educational foundation already set up by Miss Ruth.

We would like to thank you for participating in a very special time for our dear teacher and friend.

Mail donations and/or notes and letters to:
