On May 19th, our Annual Membership Meeting took place in the Hatboro Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall.  An election of members to the Board of Directors was held.  The Board members that were again running for a new two-year term were returned to the Board.  A slideshow of the History of Hatboro was shown.  The presentation focused on the town, between the years 1930 and 1980.

Delaware Canal Walk - Our spring walk/hike took place  Saturday, May 16th. Mary Porter, Ed Price, Scott Shannon's family, Wendy and Shannon Thompson, along with drivers David and Patt Shannon.  We participated in the 5 mile walk along the canal tow path.  We began at the Theodore Roosevelt picnic area Lock #22 & #23.  After a lunch break, we continued the walk to a point between Traugers Bridge and Kintnersville. If you are interested in joining on our next walk coming this fall, please contact us.

 Several members of the Society visited the Pennsylvania State Museum in Harrisburg, on Saturday, March 6th.  We toured all three floors of the museum.  There were many topics of interest to see.  An 18-foot high statue of William Penn stands in Memorial Hall.  A copy of the Pennsylvania was there for us to see and read.  On the first floor is an area called "TUSKS" where the bones of dinosaurs are on display.

On the same trip, as we returned to our cars, we decided to visit the State Capital Building.  We were in time for the last tour of the day.  The tour took us to the Senate Chamber, the Supreme Court Room, and the Representative's Chamber.  We were told all about the paintings and furnishings in the different areas.  The interior of the building is  very ornate.

Our dig sites are now open for archaeology at the Scout Property and the Moland House.   Digging, screening, cleaning, and cataloguing of artifacts will be taking place.  Please plan to attend and help support these projects this season.
