Portland alums offer their thanks

To the editor: The Portland High School Alumni Association wishes to thank everyone for their help in preparing the 132nd annual Portland High School Alumni Banquet. 

The 2023 banquet was the first for the current committee and its success was due to the support of many. 

The committee especially wants to thank Judy and Neil Medler for their dedication in overseeing the banquet for many years and for their invaluable input as the new committee assumed leadership. 

The committee also thanks the Jay School Corporation for the use of the JCHS commons, where Carla’s Catering served its wonderful food.

Additionally, the committee wishes to thank Carl Ronald and The Commercial Review for their help in finding lost classmates and for printing invitations and programs, and also Rob Weaver and WPGW for their help in finding alumni.

Finally, the committee wants to recognize the youth from Fellowship Baptist Church who assisted alumni at the banquet. 

The committee is looking forward to continuing the traditional banquet for two more years. After that, the committee anticipates a less formal annual event open to all alumni.

If you attended PHS and would like to help plan these events, contact the committee at P. O. Box 218, Portland, IN 47371 or [email protected].
