With regret, the Executive Board of the Bedford High School Alumni Association has accepted the resignations of Gene Stock, Edd Bankowski, & Jennifer Harpel. We would like to commend each of these individuals for stepping up back in August of last year to dedicate themselves to the cause of revitalizing the Bedford High School Alumni Association. Since August, the Alumni Association has accomplished much, and this is a direct result of the efforts of Gene, Edd, & Jennifer.
Edd was instrumental in planning the most successful Hall of Fame event the Alumni Association has ever hosted and has helped the Hall of Fame regain momentum moving forward and his successor will have a tough act to follow.
Jennifer was instrumental in the revitalization of the Alumni Association and through her guidance and influence, 2016 will prove to be a great year.
Gene has been actively involved with the Alumni Association since its inception in 1996 and his passion, guidance, and advice have led to countless accomplishments over the years. Gene successfully planned and spearheaded many successful fundraisers, was an original Co-Chair of the Stadium Committee and has been actively involved in every facet of the organization for many years.
The remaining Executive Board wishes to thank those who have decided to move on the very best in their future endeavors and look forward to their continued contributions to the Alumni Association as committee members and members at-large.The remaining Executive Board members are actively seeking those who might wish to fill the vacant positions on our Board. Our goals for 2016 include kicking off a capital campaign to raise funds for the construction of permanent restroom and team meeting room facilities inside the Bedford Community Stadium, organizing class reunion information and becoming a clearinghouse for class reunions to gather and share information, working with other organizations within the Mule Nation to further their causes, and putting together an updated class directory. In addition, we are actively looking for individuals who may be interested in serving on our Alumni Relations, Hall of Fame, Fundraising, & Stadium committees as well as a committee to review and revise the Alumni Association Constitution & By-Laws.
Those interested should contact alumni@mybedford.us or one of the existing Board Members:
President – Michelle “Mickey” (Reed) Rudolph (Class of 1992): majestikbutterfly@gmail.com or (567) 277-6796
Secretary – Dustin Cress (Class of 2001): cress112@live.com or (419) 340-6195
Treasurer – Lisa (Beins) McCaig (Class of 1988): lisa.mccaig@mybedford.us or (419) 297-1100
The Executive Board would love your input and feedback and we would invite you to attend one of our upcoming meetings or to contact us at alumni@mybedford.us with any questions, comments, or concerns. We are very excited about what 2016 has in store and we hope that now, more than ever, you’ll decide to join us! GO MULES!

Alumni Association Special Announcement
Attention All BHS Alumni and Bedford Supporters!
There will be an informational meeting for persons interested in joining the Bedford High School Alumni Association. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, August 5 th 2015 at 7:00PM in Study Room C at the Bedford Branch Library. This meeting will be held to discuss the history and future of the Association, and to answer any questions about the organization that anyone may have. The Alumni Association is open to all BHS Alumni and anyone who has an interest in promoting Bedford High School (Attending or graduating from BHS is not a requirement to join the Alumni Association).
The 50 th Anniversary Celebration of the current BHS building on Jackman and Dean Roads which is scheduled for September 25 th & 26 th has sparked renewed interest by many BHS Alumni in joining the BHS Alumni Association. Congratulations to the planning committee for doing a great job of organizing this event. You have our total support! We all are looking forward to attending the 2-day event and helping out in any way that we can. Click here for information concerning the 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Over the past 19 years many dedicated people have worked hard in leadership roles to keep the BHS Alumni Association an outstanding community organization. Since the Alumni Association was established back in January of 1996, the hope has been that more alumni would get involved in leadership roles, but that has not happened. Currently, thanks to the generosity of Grogan’s Towne and Barron Insurance for assuming paying off the Bedford Community Stadium loan, there is no outstanding debt for the Alumni Association to worry about for phase 1 of the Bedford Community Stadium project.
Currently there is an account set up for donations to construct permanent restrooms at the Bedford Community Stadium. Barron Insurance is currently donating $4,000 per year to this fund. Click here for more information concerning the Bedford Community Stadium project phases.
The BHS Alumni Association was formed:
1. To encourage camaraderie between Bedford graduates and others who are interested in the well-being of Bedford High School.
2. To provide assistance for current students.
3. To keep members informed about what is happening at Bedford High School and with other members.
4. To undertake special school related projects.
5. Sponsor the Bedford High School Hall of Fame. The purpose of the BHS Alumni Association Hall of Fame is to recognize outstanding achievements (i.e. way above and beyond the norm) of primarily Bedford High School alumni (students, athletes, post graduate successful alumni, teams and organizations) and secondarily staff (teachers, coaches, administrators and other staff members) and other supporters.” Click here for additional information concerning the BHS Alumni Association Hall of Fame.
The Alumni Association is trying to get an idea of how many people will attend the meeting on August 5th. If you plan on attending the meeting, please contact Chuck Faller, Alumni Association President at the contact info listed below.

Questions and Answers Concerning the Bedford High Alumni Association and the Bedford Community Stadium Project
Listed below are recent questions and answers concerning the Bedford High School Alumni Association and the Bedford Community Stadium Project.
Questions concerning the Alumni Association should be directed to Alumni Association President, Chuck Faller. Questions concerning the Bedford Community
Stadium Project should be directed to Bedford Community Stadium Committee Co-Chairman Gene Stock
1. What was the Bedford Community Stadium Project? Who started it?
The Bedford Community Stadium Project was the first special project of the Bedford High School Alumni Association. Click here to read the history of the Bedford Community Stadium Committee.
2. How was the Bedford Community Stadium Project financed?
3. Who is paying the off the loan of $1 million debt for the construction of the Bedford Community Stadium?
The debt was being paid by the Bedford High School Alumni Association through donations and fund raisers until 2011. Annual payments were made each year to Monroe Bank and Trust who financed the loan. Click here to view the history concerning the loan from 1997 to 2011. The ordinal agreement with MB&T signed in July 1997 called for payments of $100,000 per year for 5 years with the balance due at maturity at an interest rate of 5.35 %. Over the years, MB&T has renegotiated the original agreement with the Alumni Association and Bedford Public Schools to extend the agreement, lower the interest rate and lower the amount of the annual payments. Click here to view the original loan agreement along with the revised payment schedule. See question #4 below to read about who is currently paying the debt on the loan.
4. What is the current status of the debt owed on the Bedford Community Stadium?
In June of 2011, Grogan’s Towne car dealership in Toledo agreed to pay on the stadium debt. They negotiated a contract with Bedford Public Schools and the BHS Alumni Association to make payments of $24,000 per year for 12 years in exchange for naming rights to the stadium field and other advertising on the Bedford Public Schools property. Click here to view the media coverage of the agreement which gives the details.
In February of 2012 Barron Insurance located in Temperance Michigan agreed to also pay on the stadium debt. They negotiated a contract with Bedford Public Schools and the BHS Alumni Association to make payments of $10,000 per year to the Alumni Association, $6,000 would go toward the stadium debt and $4,000 would be set aside to start a fund to build permanent restroom facilities at the stadium. In exchange for their payment each year Baron Insurance would receive advertising at the stadium. Click here to view the media coverage concerning the agreement with Barron Insurance.
5. What is the current status of the Bedford High School Alumni Association?
The Alumni Association has not been as active for the past couple of years as it was from 1996-2013. Yes, there still is a Bedford High School Alumni Association, but it consists of basically 4 people who have pretty much done everything for the past 2 years. Many people have put in a great deal of time for the association in the past, but our lives are all at a point that we simply do not have that kind of time to commit anymore. The last major event sponsored by the Alumni Association was the Hall of Fame banquet in October of 2013.
Over the past 19 years many dedicated people have worked hard in leadership roles to keep the BHS Alumni Association an outstanding community organization. Since the Alumni Association was established back in January of 1996, the hope has been that more alumni would get involved in leadership roles, but that has not happened. With the 50 th Anniversary of the current BHS building celebration going on in September this may be a good time for BHS alumni to get involved with the Alumni Association. It would be nice to see some people who would like to run for officers and take an active role in revitalizing the Alumni Association .Currently, thanks to the generosity of Grogan’s Towne and Barron Insurance for assuming paying off the Bedford Community Stadium loan, there is no outstanding debt for the Alumni Association to concentrate their fund-raising efforts. Their efforts now can be spent on why the Association was formed:
1. To encourage camaraderie between Bedford graduates and others who are interested in the well-being of Bedford High School.
2. To provide assistance for current students.
3. To keep members informed about what is happening at Bedford High School and with other members.
4. To undertake special school related projects.

6. Is the BHS Alumni Association a 501c3 organization? (A 501c3 organization is a United States nonprofit organization that has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt under the terms of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) What is the current status of the of 501c3?
Yes, the BHS Alumni Association is a certified 501c3 Organization with all donations made to the organization being tax deductible. According to the BHS Alumni Association Treasurer, Laura Collins, the current status is up-to-date (July 2015). All filing requirements have be met each year with Federal Government and the State of Michigan. Click here to view the current 501c3 information concerning the Bedford High School Alumni Association. Please contact BHS Alumni Association Treasurer Laura Collins if you have any questions concerning the the status of the 501c3.
7. Is the Alumni Association still accepting donations toward the stadium project, Alumni Association scholarships, Hall of Fame and other general donations to the Association?
Yes, the Alumni Association is still accepting donations. Click here to view the various methods of donating.
8. Is the Alumni Association participating in the 50th Anniversary Celebration on September 25 & 26, 2015
Yes, a current officer of the Alumni Association is serving on the planning committee and other members are planning on attending future meetings to offer their assistance with the event. The Alumni Association has supported this event since the event was announced. Another member of the Association has been posting information on the Bedford Yes Web site in cooperation with the committee chairman, Evelyn Powers since May 2015 to publicize the event. On June 27, 2015 it was suggested to committee Chairman Evelyn Powers, by an Alumni Association member: “It would be a great idea to have a couple of the current Alumni Association officers attend the next 50th Anniversary Celebration meeting. It would be nice to see some new Alumni get involved with the BHS Alumni Association. It also would be to the committee's advantage to be able to use the Alumni Association's current 501c3 status if the group needs to purchase anything for the celebration without having to pay any sales tax.” The Committee Chairman, Evelyn Powers responded “I do want to use the Alumni Association's 501(c)(3) for this Event”.
