REMINDER !! TODAY is our meeting ~ Hope to see you there! The next meeting for the History Keepers of Bethany: ~ Saturday, August 23rd ~ 3:00 p.m., in Bethany, at the Rolling Hills (formerly Carriage Village) One of the topics which will be open for discussion will be the Town Hall of Bethany ~ as many of you are aware, the Town Board is considering purchasing the Fire Dept's. Hall and renovating it and putting their Town Offices into that building, which will leave the present Town Hall empty. A meeting of committee members to share ideas for what this historic building can be utilized as, if the Town goes ahead with their new building plans next spring, has begun to form. If you have any ideas, please bring them with you; your input will be valuable. ( Or, come to the meeting and voice your own suggestions--at the Town Hall on Monday, Aug. 18, 7:00 pm.) We hope we can be able to be outside for this meeting to enjoy the sunshine--if not, we will meet in the Solarium (the large glassed-in room at the East Wing). Also, I plan to read some of Mary Erwin's poetry--she was a poet from Bethany in the 1870s, she had her works published in the local newspapers and in Woods Housekeeping Magazine. Hope to see you soon! Linda Schmidt Web-Page Editor for Bethany BETHANY: Its Past and Present ~ Bethany Town Page http://www.arkwebshost.com/family/bluebird/TownOfBethany.shtml
