A place that loses its history loses its soul
Message From The Chairman

The 17 May board meeting will be held at the Heritage Center.
During the era of Zoom meetings, a recent study has verified what we all probably suspected. In person meetings are more productive. The interaction between people via gestures, facial expressions, and body movements leads to definitive problem solving and much more. This will be our second in person meeting since last year. Hopefully, we can continue going forward.

We will be able to focus on specifics such as increasing the days the Center is open, and a date, time, and place for the fundraiser.

Hope you have had a happy Spring!


Jack A. Apperson, Chairman
