The Sullivan Alumni Association (SAA) has reluctantly decided to postpone the 2021 Alumni Banquet and Awards scheduled for October of this year because of continued COVID-19 concerns. The Association stated that with vaccinations continuing and things beginning to open back up, it had been very hopeful of resuming both the banquet and the awards this year. Ultimately however, they decided a large gathering of alumni might not be the healthy or wise thing to do this year. The Governor’s announcement last week about his increasing concerns about the COVID-19 Delta variant dangers this fall also played a role in their decision to postpone until 2022.
The Association’s Hall of Fame Awards and Who’s Who will resume in 2022. New services and awards by the SAA are being planned and they look forward to seeing all the alumni and guests back next year. Anyone can make nominations for alumni awards or express interest in joining the SAA Board or Award Committee by e-mailing information to sullivanalumniassn2021@gmail.com.
