PLHS TENNIS
Point Loma High School would like to
welcome the Pointer Tennis Boosters and Congratulate the 2008 CIF Boys
Division II Champions and the San Diego CIF Individual Champion!
This past year Pointer Tennis Team has become one of the elite tennis
teams in San Diego.
The Boys Team won San Diego CIF for the first time since 1966 and will be
looking to repeat this year with an extremely strong team. Team
member Zach Leslie also won the individual CIF as a sophomore and will be
returning to defend his title. Pointer Tennis will be going to the Ojai
tournament this year with a chance to win the fabled Griggs Cup which has
not been won by a San Diego High School Team. The girls tennis team in
2007 won the Division Title but lost in the CIF Semi-Finals. The 2008
Girls team is young and vastly improving and look to do some great things
in the near future.
Pointer Tennis Boosters are looking for your support and encourage you to
come out to watch the most talented tennis teams in San Diego. If you would like to know
more about Pointer Tennis or make a donation to the team go to: Pointer

Tax-Free IRA Contributions

CONSIDER GIVING A TAX-FREE IRA CONTRIBUTION TO
PLHSFAA
As a result of action by the House of Representatives,
Americans 70.5 years of age and older may make tax-free donations to
charity from IRA accounts through Dec. 31, 2009.
The legislation, part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008, allows persons to transfer up to $100,000 per year without federal
tax. By going directly to a qualified public charity-such as the
Point Loma High School Foundation/Alumni Association-the money will not
be included in the IRA owner's income.
Current PLHSFAA projects include construction of a new Music facility on
campus, increasing the Bennie Edens Perpetual Scholarship Fund and adding
additional technology to classrooms
This really is a limited-time offer: the window will close at the
end of 2009. For anyone interested in establishing a permanent
legacy in the (Point Loma) community, this is the opportunity of a
lifetime to make the gift of a lifetime.
Some of today's retirees have more money in their IRA's than they need
for daily living expenses and long-term care. And experts estimate
heirs "may receive less than 50% of IRA assets once they pass
through estates."
If you (or a family member) graduated from high school prior to the
mid-1950s, please consider a tax-free gift from your IRA. The PLHSFAA
would be pleased to assist you in designating your gift towards one of
our current projects or an area of your choice.

Dear Kim,
Homecoming 2008 was great fun. PLHS football beat University City High under the lights at
PLHS; Alumni toured the campus, enjoyed a BBQ dinner, reconnected with
friends, were entertained by the PLHS Marching Band, had a kazoo lesson
from Larry Zeiger, and made their mark marching in the HC parade; PL
Alumni even made the cover of the Peninsula Beacon. Beacon

several ways to help PLHSFAA as we assist reunion chairs, maintain alumni

Pointer Pride for generations past, present and future. We know
times are tough financially, but do keep us in mind as you shop this Holiday season: Sign up for eScrip
