2016 Wayne Soccer Hall of Fame Inductees

Hello everyone!! There are a few upcoming alumni events coming up:
Wednesday September 21st will be the Alumni Soccer Games. The Women will play at 6pm and the Men at 7pm. Cost is $10 and will include a t-shirt. We will start the games with the “older” (1950-2002ish) alumni playing first, so they old timers can get a few minutes in before the younger alumni can jump in. That way, we encourage all to come out and play.

We will have our 4th Wayne Soccer Hall of Fame Induction homecoming weekend on Saturday September 24th at halftime of the Boys Varsity game.

Following the homecoming game there will be a reception at Ontario Country Club for any alumni and friends to celebrate the hall of fame inductees. Appetizers will be provided. This celebration is open for friends and family of Wayne Soccer.

Looking For Contributors

For various reasons, we don’t have access to as many sources of information that we once did for this website.  So the following would be helpful:

  • Send info and/or links that would be appropriate Alumni News items.  Any news and info of interest to alumni. Start with “Contact>Submit News” on the menu.
  • Additional people willing to contribute and write the short Alumni News and Announcements that appear on the front page Blog.  It is relatively easy to setup other contributors on the new website.  Click on the contact link above on the main menu to let us know you are interested.
  • Reunion Info – Some people still come here looking for this.  If no one sends the info in, it won’t likely appear here.  You can submit reunion info at “Contact>Submit Reunion“
  • Yearbook photos – we have a decent but limited supply of yearbooks, but they have already been heavily mined.  Many years are not represented.  Dust off those printer/scanners and send some pictures.  Worst case, try to use your phone camera.  You can submit a small number of photos (up to five) using “Contact>Submit Photo(s)“
  • Current Wayne Sports notable news or events.  Many people still like to hear about the Wayne athletic teams, and though we probably can’t cover it all, occasional updates would be good to pass along here.  This can be passed along using the Alumni News submission link above.

If not sure, click on the contact link above on the main menu.  You can also use this email:  briand”at”waynealumni.org

Updates

Some progress on the website.  Completed the In Memory section, added a boatload of photos into galleries.  Still some more to do, but it is a good thing my internet is not limited by data caps.  One can now comment on posts, pages, etc, using Facebook or Twitter accounts, or provide a name and email.  The question will be – will we be able to fend off the onslaught of spam – I have added some tools to help, but we’ll see.

We’re Back

It took some gentle prodding, but I was persuaded to give this another go.  Since the site needed major updates, and the cost at the previous host was not insignificant, I decided to take advantage of initial lower rates for 3 years by switching to a different hosting service.  I also switched to a mostly WordPress based web-site for managing content.  This will make things easier to manage, and I can take advantage of many available features as needed.

One major benefit is the site is now friendlier to mobile devices.

I was able to restore the posts from the old site.  Many of the posts, like the old Yearbook Picture of the Week posts, will be missing the photo, and some links may not work.  I might be able to fix those at some point, but not the first priority.

It will take some time to restore some of the other pages.  I don’t expect the email directory to be back, it outlived it’s usefulness.  I will restore the In Memory section.  Yearbook pictures is another area that will be recreated in some fashion.  Most of the sports info too.

It will take some time, but hopefully not too long.

Thanks to our supporters for funding the website hosting for the next 3 years:

  • Carla Tarana Boerman
