Closing out this past Tuesday was the annual Historical Society Christmas Dinner/monthly meeting. The dinner was held at the River Museum and catered by Brickers of East Liverpool. About 40 members and guests attended. Historical Society President Robert “Brassy” Beresford presided. All officers were present.
New members Diane Spencer and Randy Allmon were introduced and welcomed. Long time members Dan MacLain and Frank DaLonzo were given Certificates of Appreciation for their dedicated service to the Society over the years.
Beresford reported 2010 was a very good year with groups touring the museum. He noted that Wellsville and the Museum was the first place in Columbina County to be toured by invited guests of the new CC Tourist Board. Beresford thanked the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce for always including the River Museum in their brochures promoting the Village. Newly elected trustees Bob Lloyd and Mike Lynn were sworn in. Lloyd will be a 1-year Trustee and Lynn a 3-year trustee.
Before closing the meeting portion Beresford advised everyone that Baron Frederick Von Steuben-Henning will be visiting Steubenville, Ohio, in January. Von Steuben-Henning is a descendent of the German Baron Von Steuben that was an American Revolution hero and Steubenville was named for. Details for the January visit are incomplete and will be published in the newspapers.
The evening was capped off with a $5 gift exchange auction that was enjoyed by all.
Next scheduled meeting is Tuesday, January 18, 2011, at 7:30 PM at the River Museum.
