THE PLAN: To finish up what's in the scanning queue, send the yearbooks back to Gerry, then start posting what's in the posting queue.
My son has scanned in 13 yearbooks, and plans on finishing them up in the next two days. He has discovered that getting paid 5 bucks per book isn't a bad way to make some money, and help mom in the process. Two birds. We are cooking now folks!

history of dundeehs.com
A BRIEF HISTORY OF DUNDEEHS.COM
In 2001 dundeehs.com was born and through the help of numerous DCHS alumni sending in photos and information it has grown beyond all imaginations. We recently expanded the site to include both Dundee-Crown and Irving Crown High Schools as we are tied together in history.
Dundee Community High School closed its doors in 1983 and merged with Crown High School to form Dundee-Crown HS. This site is a small attempt to bring back the DCHS Cardunals & ICHS Vikings spirit and create a virtual home for its many alumni as we watch Dundee-Crown alumni march on.
Our site has two areas, a public area and a members only area. Members have access to the guestbook entries, alumni list, membership list, message boards, ILMs, obituaries, photos, alumni links, and fun facts. Non-members have access to the reunion info, photo stats, and can sign the guestbook. Anyone can join even non-alumni whose parents or grandparents attended DCHS, D-CHS, ICHS or perhaps an old flame of theirs attended DCHS, D-CHS, ICHS.
Our members only site uses Joomla, a Content Management System, which is what you will see once you are registered and signed on. Joomla allows us to wrap other programs into ours. This means you can view the guestbook and still stay on the main site. We are also using aMember software to handle our subscription memberships. We are still using Phorum (our alumni's favorite) for our message boards and have upgraded to the latest version. Yes, we are still using our same guestbook software.

HELP SUPPORT DUNDEEHS.COMOur new site has 3 subscription donation options to choose from and now includes all 3 high schools.
* 1 Year Subscription ($15.00) ($1.25 per month)
* 2 Year Subscription ($25.00) ($1.04 per month)
* 3 Year Subscription ($35.00) ($0.97 per month)
We moved to a subscription website for several reasons. First, to help us enforce the rules, and second to share the burden of keeping the site running. This prevents that same small group of alumni from bearing the expense. Now everyone who joins keeps this site running in tiptop form.
