Phoenix Historical Society


Dear Members and Friends of the Schroeppel Historical Society:
 
Keith Conroy, retired engineer and Phoenix resident, has offered to make two presentations to benefit the Schroeppel Historical Society Capital Fund for Vital Repairs. As you know, there are serious exterior problems affecting our 108-year-old building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and remains part of the character of our village, thanks to the efforts and donations of you, our members and friends. The functions of our organization, including our historical documents, artifacts and educational programs, are becoming better known in our community, as well as among former Phoenix residents who now live in other states. Please continue to help by attending and encouraging others to attend these, and our other programs scheduled for the 2019 season.
Thank you.
Susan Lynch, Trustee/Publicity
