This May, the Ellet Alumni Association awarded a $500 scholarship to a member of the Ellet graduating class of 2025. Your past generous donations have funded 8 scholarships totaling $7,000 that have been awarded to deserving Ellet graduates since we started our scholarship program 4 years ago. As a member of the Association, we again ask you to join this effort to give back to our alma mater; $25, $50 or any amount will make a difference. Your generous donation will show future Ellet graduates that they have the support and encouragement of generations of Ellet Alumni. You can add your donation using the selection box included below the dinner selection box for our banquet.

When preparing seat assignments we make every attempt to seat all graduating class members with other guests from their class, and in most cases we succeed. We cannot guarantee that you will be seated at the same table with other members of your class, but consecutive graduating classes will be seated at adjacent tables so you can visit throughout the evening.

All guests will sit at their pre-assigned tables until after dinner service. We arrange our seating before the banquet, seating guests by a range of graduating classes, and we do not allow guests to change their table assignment before and during dinner service. After dinner is served, guests are welcome to move between tables as they wish.
