MILFORD — The Milford High School Alumni Banquet has been cancelled for this year, according to Ron Baumgartner, president of the association.

Baumgartner said “with the coronavirus pandemic impacting our communities today, we feel that the effect of the virus will be with us for some weeks and months to come. Even if the shelter in place order, scheduled to end Monday, April 20, and maintaining a safe social distance are both behind us by the date of the banquet, we certainly do not want to jeopardize the good health of our faithful alumni.” Long-standing committee members Margaret Brooks and Mary Duncan agreed with the decision.

The banquet, originally slated for June 13 and to be held at the Milford Elementary School, is always scheduled for the second Saturday in June. The 2021 banquet will be Saturday, June 12.

The alumni committee asks alumni to mark their calendars and save the date.
