Activities begin at 6 pm, with an enjoyable field trip from the library to Central Cemetery, for a demonstration of "Tombstone cleaning in Central Cemetery," with presenter Gary Swain. Central Cemetery is a short walking distance from the library. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Those who don't plan to participate in the field trip may remain at the library to enjoy the extra time catching up with old friends.
Afterward, we will return to the library for birthday cake, reminiscing, and a brief business meeting and program which will begin at about 7 pm.
In addition, we invite you to bring any genealogical material you no longer use - books, magazines, maps or charts, even file folders, and other types of supplies - for a swap session. And, you may just find yourself the winner of a door prize - The Family Tree Cemetery Field Guide!
Our 65th Anniversary won't be the same without you. Please join us!
