We’re not sure if President George Washington made any holiday crafts but he did issue the first national Thanksgiving Day Proclamation in the year 1789. What better way to get ready for turkey day than to attend a Tea Party (punch drinks) at Dayton’s only National Park and create a Thanksgiving craft to take home.
Join us Saturday, Nov. 15, beginning at 1 until 3 p.m. at the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center, 16 South Williams Street, Dayton. The program is FREE and open to the public. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
University of Dayton Professor Dr. John Putka will discuss election results with members of the Republican Council of Oakwood at their Nov. 13 luncheon meeting at the Dayton Woman’s Club.
According to President Jan Crosby of Kettering, membership in the group is open to any Republican women of voting age residing in Montgomery County by payment of yearly dues.
The object of the organization is to bring women together for the purpose of advancing and perpetuating the Republican Party’s principles and to provide opportunities for political activity and education.
