The Holmes Alumni Association is gearing up for their District Dog Lunches in the nine counties supporting Holmes Community College, including Choctaw County.
The lunches, held in July and August, have been organized to help alumni network and socialize with other alumni in the area. The lunches will begin at 11 a.m. at each location and will be dutch. There will be no charge for the event, and all alumni are welcome to attend including recent graduates.
The Choctaw County lunch will take place August 7 at the famous Council House in French Camp.
The first event will kick off in Grenada County on July 10 at 333 Restaurant. Then the other local events include: Attala County Lunch on July 11, at Skylight Grill in Kosciusko; Montgomery County Lunch on July 18, at The Tracks in Winona; and Webster County Lunch, at Pepper Race II on August 1 in Eupora.
"By staying in touch with alumni we can gain insight from our former students," Coordinator of Alumni Affairs Katherine Ellard said. "There are many opportunities for former students to remain involved with Holmes Community College, and the Alumni Association wants to stay connect with as many alumni as possible."
