last thursday, the earl township historical society in rural boyertown invited the labors of our fingertips: poems from manufacturing history in berks county to be the featured program for its monthly meeting.
betty ann dawson who manages planning for the society offered her camera skills as a way to contribute to the poetry reading.
a very enthusiastic group, happy to toss around conversational tidbits--those in attendance offered ideas of some old workplaces like a factory in boyertown borough where cowboy boots were made and a cheese facility in the pike and oley township region where cheese blocks were produced and shipped overseas. stories from those days and places may be a part of this second year in the project, into the next few months. and these folks also have very humor-ready, fun personalities, which is a nice plus any day.
this organization also makes sure there are plenty of sweets and beverages during and after their monthly meetings, so if you are interested in checking them out, call the earl township building to find out more at 610.367.9673. they meet every fourth thursday of the month at 7 p.m., assuming it's not fretful weather outside.
