Pontiac Archives Tale Spinners
Are you interested in learning about life in Pontiac County? Would you like the opportunity to learn about the history of your town from the people who lived it?
At our last meeting of the Pontiac Archives, in order to encourage more people to use our vast quantity of local historical information, we decided to invite everyone who is interested in telling tales of the past to form a club where everyone will have the chance to participate in a friendly atmosphere. We will sit around a table, drink a pot of tea and share our memories. Each month we will have a different topic. The first topic will be “School Days.”
Our volunteers have been making collections of newspaper clippings and other documents related to different topics. Pearl McCleary and Gwen Armstrong have prepared many binders full of interesting information about Pontiac Schools. We encourage you to come to the Archives on regular days - Tues. to Thurs. 9 am - 4 pm and Saturday 10 am - 2 pm to get inspiration and facts to support your stories. Our first gathering will be on Friday, Feb. 3, 2006 at 2 pm at the Pontiac Archives in Shawville. Hope to see you there.
