Changes…
Your Alumni Newsletter is changing.
Due to the cost of printing and mailing
4000 newsletters, the board has decided
to only send printed newsletters to grad-
uates of the Class of 1979 and earlier,
unless specifically requested.
The Class of 1980 and later will receive
postcards beginning this year with infor-
mation concerning the dinner. The
printed newsletter will be posted on our
Facebook page, and on our website,
www.bthsalumniassoc.com
If you wish to receive the newsletter by email, please confirm your email ad-dress at [email protected] .
Frank Manning Honored
At the 2011’s Alumni Banquet, Frank
Manning was honored for his years of
dedication to the Bethel Historical So-
ciety and his contributions to the
Alumni Association as he has helped
us find details and facts to share with
you. Frank is a member of the class of
1942; his wife Ethel, two children,
Brenda and Curtis, and five grandchil-
dren are all graduates of Bethel Tate.
Frank has made many contributions
to our school and community. His
many accomplishments in life include
his service in the United States Marine Corps and a World War II Veteran. He is a lifetime member of the
Bethel Church of Christ and a member of the Bethel-Tate Fire Department since 1946. He was monumental in
the effort to restore a 1925 fire truck, which was the first piece of motorized equipment owned by the Village
of Bethel. He was a Village of Bethel employee for 37 years, and served as Superintendent of both the Water
and Sewer Departments. He has also served as Trustee at Woodland Lakes Christian Camp, Tate-Monroe Wa-
ter, Burke Trust, and is Chairman of the Historical Society. Frank is a mentor at Bethel-Tate Elementary School
and is a member of the K of P and Masonic Lodges.
This year, members of the Alumni Association have spent many hours at the Museum to find interesting tidbits
about the history of Bethel Schools to print in the newsletters. We hope you have enjoyed reading them and
taking a trip down memory lane. The committee members have found Frank to be hospitable and accommo-
dating to our requests. We would not have been able to do this without Frank’s help, and wanted to say a spe-
cial “Thank You”. Frank is committed to maintaining the Bethel Historical Society and works diligently at the
Museum located within the Grant Memorial Building. Frank’s dedication to Bethel’s history and maintenance
of the records, memorabilia and overall upkeep make it possible for anyone interested to find facts, details,
and family history within the walls of the museum, including many past yearbooks. The Museum is open the
first Saturday of every month from 1:00 to 4:00 and by special appointment as long as Frank can fit it into his
busy schedule.
