Orchard alumni association announces reunion information

The Orchard High School Alumni Association is making plans for the annual banquet. The 2021 all-school reunion will be held Saturday, May 29.

An open house, for anyone wishing to take a final tour of the building, will run from 3 to 5 p.m. Class pictures will begin at 5 and roll call and seating will begin at 6, followed by the banquet and business meeting.

The banquet committee will follow guidelines as set forth by the Nebraska Department. of Health and Human Services. Those guidelines may change at anytime, depending on the status of the Covid-19 virus. The committee asks everyone to use their best judgment about attending the banquet. Bring a facemask in the event they are required. Guidelines will be followed to ensure the safest environment as possible.

This will possibly be the last gathering in the current format. The school campus will be under new ownership/management by 2022 as the Summerland School District moves to their new building for the 2021-22 school year.

Because the banquet last year was cancelled, the association will be honoring the 25 and 50 year classes of 1970, 1971, 1995 and 1996.

Cost for the banquet is $20 per person. All alumni and friends of the alumni are welcome to attend. Mail payment and reservation information to: Orchard High School Alumni, GENERAL DELIVERY, Orchard NE 68764-9999. Deadline is May 1, 2021.
