ENDERLIN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Enderlin Alumni Association started on August 21, 1989 when Merle Foss got together a small group of Enderlin alumni for a brainstorming session. Ideas ranged from construction of a community center to making contact with all the Enderlin School alumni and see how the alumni could give back to the school and community.
Foss presented a check for $500 in memory of his brother, John Foss, to help with the initial expenses of setting up the Enderlin Alumni Association (EAA). A public meeting was held on Novmeber 6, 1989 at the school. Officers were elected and they decided to survey all alumni to see what the association would like to do. Later it was decided to host an All-School banquet during the city's 1991 Centennial. In June of 1990, the official incorporation meeting was held and a board of directors elected. That September, Betty Krom began forming a list of all former teachers and their addresses. In January of 1991, the EAA moved to support actions on the community center for Enderlin. Work continued to be done to complete a computerized list of alumni and thier respective addresses. Plans were to send a newsletter to the alumni twice a year.
In 2004 the EAA partnered with the City of Enderlin to publish My Hometown Magazine and mail the publication to all alumni and those interested in Enderlin. Since then about 6 issues have been mailed. The publication remains free of charge to all subscribers and is paid by donations and sales tax collections.
