Answer

On Monday, 4/27, the MHHS Board of Directors approved canceling all MHHS public events for 2020. Our primary concern is for the health and safety of our members and event attendees, many of whom fall in high risk categories. At present, there is a great deal of uncertainty about social guidelines and how they will impact our lives. As we listen to the science and facts surrounding COVID-19, it looks to be many months before we will be able to gather in large groups -- projections are next year. As the weeks and months go by, it does not make sense to keep committees working in suspense about what will happen only to find that events may not be permitted when scheduled. Until we can once again open our doors to the community, we will continue our mission of preserving and sharing the history of Morgan Hill by finding new and interesting ways to keep us all engaged. In the meantime, we invite you to visit our new Blog which will be updated regularly with current and historical information pertaining to our community. You can also view our "Stories from the Past" documentary film series. And don't forget to watch for our Constant Contact emails, our quarterly newsletters, and follow us on Facebook. Thank you for your support!
