At the last meeting, it was decided that we would make our regular monthly meetings "less business and more history." Toward that goal the officers will meet to plan activities for the upcoming monthly meetings.
The board met Monday, January 18, and came up with this tentative schedule for the monthly meetings.
  • February 13 — Historical Slide Show
  • March 13 — "I May Be Wrong, But ..." - researching Norwood's history
  • April 10 — Baseball History Day
  • May 8 — General Motors History
  • June 1 — Genealogy
  • July 10 — T.B.D.
  • August 14 — Ice Cream Social/Picnic
  • September-November — T.B.D.
  • December 11 — McCullough Open House/Holiday Party
One meeting will be in our room at the Community Center and efforts will be made to have some off-site tours/trips, perhaps at local museums and libraries (e.g. Lloyd Library, Norwood Library, Museum Center, etc.), the Norwood High School and Allison Street School Buildings and other historical sites. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated. We also will support the July 4th Fireworks Celebration and the Norwood Day Parade in July.
