EHS BUSINESS MEETING – SEPTEMBER 20, 7 PM AT THE SAND HILL ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE ON TANGE ROAD

The EHS September 20 business meeting will meet at the Sand Hill Schoolhouse on Tange Road
at 7 p.m. The meeting will include the election of board members whose terms expire this year
and membership dues will be collected; $5 for an individual and $10 for a family.

EHS is looking for individuals who would like to join us as more community involvement would
ensure continued success in our efforts to preserve Edinburg’s heritage. If you have suggestions
for speakers or subjects you would be interested in, please join us. EHS has members who are
snowbirds and contribute and volunteer for projects. It’s a wonderful way to meet and greet your
neighbors or make new friends. Volunteers are always needed to work at our festivals, help out at
the spring clean-up or closing up the museums in the fall.
