Details are shared below, along with a link to our website where you may register for the meeting only, or the meeting plus supper and entertainment, to feature a very special guest, and your fellow Museum member, Kevin T. Doyle, the award-winning Irish step dancer.
Please read on for information about our popular new self-guided walking tour brochures and for membership renewal information for the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
