An SHG alumni and friends business directory, the Black and Gold Pages, is being created to list businesses that are owned/and or operated by alumni, current parents, or parents of alumni, so that fellow alumni and friends can patronize and support them.

To be included in this directory,  please fill out the form found HERE.

Listing in the directory is free. This directory will grow over time. Please inform other alumni, parents, and friends of this opportunity and check back often as our goal is to support one another in our business and professional endeavors. If you have any questions, please contact Michele Reavy, Director of Alumni Relations at reavy@theapplianceshow.com, or by calling the Advancement Office at 217-787-9732.
