MUSEUM OPENS FOR GROUP TOURS

By popular request the Executive Board of the Society approved renovations to enlarge the Museum section of the Hatboro facility to accommodate groups of visitors. After having been closed for 2 months, the Museum re-opened on Wednesday, February 9th in time to welcome the Chandler Hall Health Center's Adult Day Program. Case workers Lorie Weiss along with David Field House were thankful to the Society for making available the wonderful history of baseball and the artifacts on display. Refreshments were served.

In approving the renovations the Board felt it was time to include other types of events such as book signings ,lectures, celebrity appearances and other local events that will include a monthly memorabilia auction on site.
