On December 14th, we held our annual Christmas Party along with a brief business meeting. After the meeting we had a gift exchange and enjoyed some great food. Thanks to those in attendance who assisted in making the evening a nice social event. The minutes will show a brief treasurer's report as usual but below are a few items of note:
8 new members; 5 calendars sold; 1 Lower Pottsgrove Crossroads of History book sold; 1 ornament sold; and numerous Bakeless Bake Sale donations were received!
Welcome new members and many thanks to those that continue to support the LPHS!
No Open Houses or Meetings to be held in January or February.
Next Meeting: Wednesday, March 14th, 2012 @ 7:30 pm. An Open House will be held on Sunday, March 25th, 2012 from 1-4 pm.
Mark your calendars for May 5th & 6th for our Yard Sale fundraiser. Our annual Strawberry Festival is also scheduled for the second Saturday in June.
A special thanks goes out to Charlie Whittenmeyer. He donated a flat screen tv and outdoor lighting for the parking lot. The tv is already hooked up to a computer in the chapel for the slide show to be run during our Open Houses and other events. Thanks to Glenn and Charlie for getting that all set up! The outdoor lighting will be installed over the next few months.
Glenn and Carol Isett found and were able to download the following:
