On Saturday, April 9th at 2:00 at the Lanpher Memorial Library, we will celebrate our 100th Anniversary with the Vermont Humanities Council Speakers Bureau Program:
Rosie's Mom: Forgotten Women of the First World War
One hundred years ago, a full generation before Rosie the Riveter, women rolled up their sleeves and entered war industries where they had never been welcome before. They ran powerful machinery, learned new skills, and faced the sullen hostility of the men in the shops. In this illustrated lecture, historian Carrie Brown reveals their courage and their hard work, and explores how these women helped shape the work that their more famous daughters would do in the next World War.

Free and open to all.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 for a visit from author, Ron Krupp, who will discuss his book "The Woodchuck Returns to Gardening". We'll travel into the world of berries, fruits and vegetables...the garden patch rooted in organic methods.
