Festivities in the Works--Could Use More Help

The MHS Class of '78 reunion will be held at the Lazy J Ranch at the corner of Hickory Ridge and Highland Road. We'll be sending out invitations this week. Many people have emailed proposing other events that weekend. Suggestions include:

- informal gathering on Friday night
- golf outing
- tour of Milford High School
- softball game on Sunday

Several people have also asked about putting together a memory book with everyone's current bio.

There's a lot of enthusiasm out there and it's looking to be a fun weekend but we could use some help. If you are able to lend a hand, please contact milford78@gmail.com.
