A SPECIAL "THANK YOU" to Society member and Greentown resident Bill Livesey for donating a beautiful bronze hued flagpole. The new addition to our grounds is now set in front  of the building. Bill donated the pole and flag in honor of his late wife, Mickey. Volunteers Roy Richmond and Bill Brennan installed the flagpole just in time for our Open House  July 7^th! We thank all of them for their generous support with time and material.  Roy Richmond, Bill Brennan and Bill Livesey are pictured standing next to the new flagpole.

OUR BUSY LITTLE BEES HAVE BEEN AT IT AGAIN! All forty chairs in the WSCS Hall have been lightly sanded and a sealer-preservative applied thanks to Bill Brennan, John Barna, Jill Porter, Jeanne Brown, Bob Lederer and Rose Robacker.  We will think of you every time we sit in them!  They look beautiful and are a fitting match to the two corner cupboards we received and which now display some of our artifacts.
