This
section is dedicated to all O'Brien Tech graduates. O'Brien
Tech alumni who want to share news with other graduates can
e-mail us at: emmett.obrien@ct.gov.
We will post any news and keep a list of graduates with their
name, year graduated, e-mail address, and website address. |
There will be an Alumni
Association Meeting on Tuesday, May 6th at 6:00 pm|
at EOB in
the Media Center.

If
you are a graduate of Emmett O’Brien –we need
your support, now! We have asked every O’Brien alumni
to pledge one dollar (it could be more—but that is up
to you) to our PFO BOOSTER BUCK ATHLETIC FUND. The cost
of funding athletic programs is huge and our students cannot
do the raise funds alone. As you are aware most schools in
the area have had generous contributions from alumni and parents
to keep sports programs afloat. Others operate on a pay
to play basis.
At O’Brien neither option has been given
to us. We
do not know what the future holds with regards to the operating
costs for athletics or our options. If every alumnus
gave just one dollar – we would a have a much better
shot at keeping our programs at an affordable level for our
students. We ask you to consider it if you were an athlete
at O’Brien or you just feel that a school is a better
place with an active athletic program then we are asking you
to send us a buck. You can to stop in to visit Mr. DeAngelis,
Athletic Director to pass on a PFO Booster Buck –please
do!
However, if you choose to send contributions through
the mail make your check payable to: O’Brien PFO-BOOSTER
BUCK-141 Prindle Avenue-Ansonia, Connecticut 06401. If
you are interested in team sponsorship or assisting Mr. DeAngelis
with the establishment of a school BOOSTER CLUB –for
Athletics –please contact him immediately at 203 732 – 1833. YOUR
HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED – WE REALLY NEED IT!!!! EVERY
LITTLE BIT HELPS. |
“Establishing
an Active Alumni Association”
Join the Alumni Association:
Emmett O’Brien graduates are a significant resource
we can use for the enrichment of our school community. Our
current students can be a valuable resource as potential employees.
Although we hear from time to time of our graduates’ achievements,
or enjoy a chance encounter or visit from one or two, there
are many alumni who have little or no contact with the school
after graduation. We would like to change this by re-forming
an Alumni Association.
We need volunteers to get this effort moving forward. Please
consider signing up for a start up committee. We would
like to have at least 1 – 2 representatives from each
graduated class.
Goals:
-
Formalize the Alumni Association
-
Create networking venues for graduates and current
students
-
Set up advertising opportunities
for graduates’ businesses
-
Promote graduate involvement with Trade Advisory Committees
-
Organize yearly decade reunions (’70,’80,’90,’00)
-
Establish a career placement system. Assist
current graduates with job placement with former graduates.
-
Initiate fundraising events to establish scholarships.
-
Plan activities to re-connect graduates
with Emmett O’Brien:
- Alumni vs. Current Students athletic games
- Family Picnics
- Dinner Dances
- Attendance at yearly Awards ceremonies
- Attendance at Sports events
- Bus trips(Casino, NY shows, Athletic Events, etc.)
