White County Historical Society
Spring is very busy for White County Historical Society Board of Directors. They are finalizing plans for the Spring Dinner Meeting on Monday, April 8, 6 PM at First Christian Church in Carmi.
Mr. Jeff Deig and Mr. Steve Witte from the Evansville Wartime Museum will bring pictures and information about Evansville’s involvement during World War II. They will feature the shipyards which produced the LST, the aircraft plant which produced the P-47, and many of the support businesses. Their program will include wartime life, women and war, Red Cross Canteen, and other points.
The Society is continuing to collect names of White County persons and the stories of those who worked in the war effort in Evansville. If you have not already done so, please give those names to either David Brown (384-9583) or Barbara Kearney (618-218-8249). Phone calls or Face Book postings are acceptable.
Reservations for the catered dinner are required by March 31. Call Paula Pierson with reservations at 382-7633.
Non-members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Remember the policy that making a reservation requires you to pay for the meal even if you do not attend. The Society cannot afford to absorb the cost of meals which have been ordered from the caterer.
