THE STATUS OF THE HARDING HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION IS CHANGING!  COVID, GROWING OLDER, AND MOVING TO BE NEAR FAMILY OR ASSISTED LIVING, ETC., HAS CAUSED FOLKS TO SHY AWAY FROM ASSUMING NEW TASKS WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE ORGANIZATION TO REMAIN  VIABLE AND STRONG.  THIS ORGANIZATION BEGAN IN 1996 BY THE CLASS OF 1946 AT THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY.

THIS ORGANIZATION HAS ACCOMPLISHED SEVERAL IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE PAST 26 YEARS, ONE OF WHICH IS THE HARRY P. HARDING SCHOLARSHIP FUND, HELPING SEVERAL HHS STUDENTS ATTAIN THEIR DREAM OF ATTENDING APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY.

THE ALUMNI BOARD HAS DECIDED NOT TO ACCEPT YEARLY DUES AS A WAY OF WINDING DOWN THE EVENTS OF THE ASSOCIATION.  THERE WILL ONLY BE TWO MORE LUNCHEONS; THEY WILL BE FEBRUARY 15 AND JUNE 21, WITH THE EMPHASIS BEING FELLOWSHIP AND COMRADERY.  WE HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER ATTENDING ONE OR BOTH OF THE LUNCHEONS, AND THAT ANY AND ALL HHS CLASSES WILL BE INTERESTED IN HOLDING LUNCHEONS, ETC. TO KEEP IN TOUCH GOING FORWARD.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ATTEND EITHER OR BOTH LUNCHEONS, YOU MUST MAKE A RESERVATION BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10 FOR THE FEBRUARY LUNCHEON,  AND PAY $15 AT THE DOOR.  PLEASE CALL MELISSA MILLER AT  704-552-6027.  

RESERVATIONS ARE NECESSARY SO THAT THE CATERER HAS THE CORRECT NUMBER TO PREPARE FOR.

LIKEWISE, FOR THE JUNE 21 LUNCHEON, YOUR RESERVATION DEADLINE IS JUNE 16.  

THE LUNCHEONS WILL BE HELD AT PRITCHARD SOUTH END

(FORMERLY PRITCHARD MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH)

LOCATED AT 1117 SOUTH BOULEVARD, CHARLOTTE, NC. 

THOUGH LUNCH IS SERVED AT NOON, GATHERING EARLIER

 ALLOWS MORE TIME FOR DELIGHTFUL SOCIALIZING!  DOORS ARE OPEN AT 11:00 a.m.

THE COST OF THE LUNCHEON IS $15, PAYABLE AT THE DOOR. 

(IF YOU MAKE A RESERVATION AND ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT.)
