By History Corner standards, this is of recent vintage, but shown here are Phyllis Shawver and Sandra Kaufman holding 2 of the 14 Christmas decorations purchased by the Beavertown Home and School Club to make our town more festive first used in 1983. This organization has done and is doing SO MUCH for our community.

(When was the Beavertown Home and School Club formed? Answer next month.)
