Dinner and Presentations
At least once a year the Society holds a dinner so that the members and invited guests can get together and visit. It may be a harvest dinner, a Christmas party, or we may just decide that it is time to celebrate. We also get to learn about some aspect of local history through a presentation after some of the dinners.
