As you know a week ago today I presented at the Depew Town Board meeting and all went very well. The town is excited about the possibilities and a member of the board will soon be on my steering committee. Also at this meeting was the Bristow Area Chamber, an organization of our neighboring town which was also interested in helping with my project. I will be meeting with a representative of the Chamber within a week or so. Also as a result of my presentation an article covering the meeting was published mentioning my project and intentions (I am in the process of acquiring this paper).
In other good news I met with the Depew Senior Citizens Center on the 14th of September and made some great friends! I chatted with several people about the town history as we passed around photo tiles (previous post) and heard some great stories. Along with great conversation I also obtained some old newspapers, The Depew Independent, one of which dated back to October of 1910. I found images of several buildings which still exist on mainstreet today! Another meeting with this great group of people is in the making.
Time for class, I will update on the rest of the week soon!
