The West Liberty Historical Society hosts its annual meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the Town Hall Opera House/Event Center.
Masks and social distancing will be required during the meeting.
New volunteers and committee members are invited to the event to check out the progress on the historic buildings and to consider assisting with the cause. A new slate of officers also will be elected.
“Membership renewal for 2021 and beyond will move us with new zeal for our community and possibilities awaiting us with the completion of the Opera House and Bailey House History Center,” WLHS board member Joyce Zilles said.
Members said the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered recent fundraising efforts and approximately $100,000 is still needed to complete the Opera House renovations.
“Thanks to committee members and memorial gifts, we have been able to pay the bills. If you can add some extra to your membership, we would greatly appreciate it,” representatives said.
The membership fee for 2021 is $10 per person, or for a membership from 2021 through 2023, the cost is $25 per person or $45 per couple. Individuals are asked to take their membership form to the meeting or mail to: WLHS, Box 159, West Liberty, OH, 43357.
