What a great program we enjoyed last evening with Nancy Hale. Her first person portrayal of Ella Gibson Hobart, the only female Chaplain to serve in the Civil War was intriguing. Her detailed accounts of other Chaplains during the Civil War, especially at Gettysburg, was very informative.
We are delighted to welcome six new members to our group. We are sure you will enjoy the great programs, the fellowship and the refreshments.
Next month, May 21 at 7:00, we will host, author and historian, Bob O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor will present a program , " Civil War Spirituality ". Bob will discuss how both southern and northern preachers used the Bible to convince their faithful that slavery was either right or wrong. He will examine the spirituality of political and military leaders, such as Abraham Lincoln, who was not a Christian.
June will be our last meeting until fall. Our June meeting will feature our version of " The Antique Road Show ". Members are encouraged to bring items of interest to display. Hopefully your item will stump people. This meeting will also be our summer picnic held indoors. Those attending are encouraged to bring a food item to share. Last, but not least, we wish for a quick and complete recovery and healing for Mike Lushbaugh. Mike suffered a most unfortunate accident at his home that has resulted in numerous surgeries. Get well soon Mike!
Our programs are free and our snacks are something to write home about.
Hope to see you there!!
