We begin with the Historical Society Event scheduled for tonight at the Community Club in the Old Academy Building. We are hosting an "Antiques Roadshow-style" evening as a fundraiser for the Historical Society and Community Club. Bring 3 items for $10.00, meet with our antique experts and find out some history and an estimated value. These are not formal appraisals, but rather a place to start your research and evaluation. We will also be serving a delicious supper of salads, cold chicken and beans. Come on down and see the treasures your neighbors have been hiding.
Last night's Community Club supper took place despite a raging wind and rain storm. We had a lovely dinner and then trooped upstairs to admire the newly redone walls in the theater room. Very nice. Painting begins on Monday, and all should be ready for the upcoming Brooks Family wedding in early September.
Next up is the 2nd Annual Barn Sale Benefit scheduled for August 14 - 15. Donations may be delivered to the Brogan Barn beginning on August 10. This is another collaborative fundraiser with proceeds going to the Historical Society and Community Club. We will need set up and selling help, so call Janet at 743-6862 to volunteer.
Next year is the big year for us with the newly re vitalized House and Garden Tour on Founder's Day, July 16, 2011. We currently have 14 Houses and Gardens and 7 Gardens only on the tentative list. This is an amazing response from the neighborhood and we are hopeful that we will be able to make a substantial contribution to the Academy Foundation Repair Fund. Needless to say we will need lots of help as that date approaches. Let Janet know how you want to help.
That's it for now. Hope you enjoy the blog. Let me know if you would like to contribute articles, photos, or ideas for a better design. Until next week.
