from Ralph Towler:
The MAHS Class of 1968, are hosting another (our fourth) Golden Canes Homecoming/Reunion on May 1, 2025 (that’s a Thursday) from 5 til 9 at the Wayfarer Sunroom at 112 North Broad Street in downtown Monroe. This is an alumni homecoming for all those that attended or graduated from MAHS at least 50 years ago.

There’s no registration so this should be easy. While no food or drinks will be provided at the venue there are many eating and drinking places close by and we encourage you to enjoy an evening downtown with friends and family.

Look for the banner and drop in and see who’s there. It’s a fun event. Your old friends look forward to seeing you.

We will have our Christmas gathering this Thursday, Nov. 7, 1 pm, When Pigs Fly. No reservations needed, just show up. - Randell
