BUSINESS DIRECTORY THE SOCIETY NEWS All the latest information on the Monroeville Historical Society. k By Robert Elms MHS Gears Up to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Community Tree Lighting T he Monroeville Chorus and the Monroeville Historical Society will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the “Community Tree Lighting” at the Old Stone Church on November 26 at 7 p.m. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at the start of the program to recognize this milestone event. The program has special seasonal music by our local Monroeville Chorus and concludes with an interactive tree lighting ceremony. The Monroeville Chorus always adds a few special features to their exceptional musical presentation. At the conclusion of the choral presentation and prior to the actual tree lighting, scouts are encouraged to decorate the tree in front of the church with their own hand-created decorations. Local scouting organizations as well as the public are invited. Please join us for this very special evening at Monroeville’s historic landmark building, the Old Stone Church. The Society can always use members and volunteers to help with the building and grounds upkeep, to assist with community events and to participate in Society plans and meetings. The Monroeville Historical Society has two general missions: (1) to help preserve our community’s heritage and (2) to educate the public as to our common history. The Society meetings are held the third Tuesday of every month, except for December and February, in the Monroeville Public Library at 7 p.m. The public is invited and welcome to attend these meetings. Additional Society information, pictures, books and events can be found on the monroevillehistorical.org website.
