TAHS Website Updates for October 2007
November 2, 2007
With the holidays approaching, I always think contributions
will slow down, but I am ALWAYS proven wrong. Once again,
you have all come through. We have a micro-fische reader, a
new computer for our Family History Library/Research
Center, monetary donations towards our roof fund,
historical and/or genealogical information submitted to the
website and helping hands at the historical society. Thanks
to you all! It means SO much to SO many people.
