The Manchester Alumni Association Attention recently announced that this year's Alumni Banquet will be held on Saturday, June 17, 2017. The 140th Alumni Banquet will be held at Manchester High School, located at 20500 Dutch Dr. with a social hour starting at 5 pm and dinner at 6:30 pm. The classes of 1947, 1957, 1967, 1977, and 2017 will receive special recognition during the banquet. Invitations will be mailed to MHS alumni in May.

Manchester alumni have established a unique tradition of providing donations to fund annual scholarship awards, which are presented to several MHS seniors during the Alumni Banquet. The Scholarship Fund has proven an excellent way for MHS alumni to invest in Manchester’s youth, whether it’s a general donation, memorial or honorarium. Tax-deductible donations to this Scholarship Fund can be mailed to: MHS Alumni Association, P.O. Box 254, Manchester, MI 48158 (checks made payable to: MHS Alumni Association). Please contact Carol Westfall, MHS Alumni Board President, with any questions (carol_westfall@sbcglobal.net; 734-428-0530).

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
