Nashville, TN – Monroe Harding announces plans for a 115^th Anniversary Celebration Reunion.  The nonprofit organization is searching for former residents, staff and volunteers for the Coming Home Reunion on April 25 – 27.

“We know there are many people out there who would like to come back to see what is happening here now,” said Monroe Harding President/CEO Patty Harman.  “This population is often very transient, but we are working hard to make this a special reunion for not only former residents, but also the staff, boards and other volunteers.”

Activities for the weekend include campus tours, a brunch, a former staff lunch, activities for the families, a worship service and a community dinner.  Most events are free of charge and the community is invited to help celebrate the agency’s impact on the community over the past 115 years
