Posted 02-17-2006 THREE News-Bits of Reading-Berks historical interest.... ================== ===================== ============== ================== ===================== ============== 1- Small correction regarding the Graveyard Ass'n mtg Sunday 2- Historical Society email and URL contacts 3- A more comprehensive News-Bits release is on the way.... ================ ======================= ============= ================ ======================= ============= 1- This coming SUNDAY at 2 p.m. the Berks County Ass’n for Graveyard Preservation will meet at the Oley American Legion building—a stone’s throw north of Route 73—at Oley Village. The ORANGE-ish / TAN structure is easily seen from Route 73…which overlaps 662 here. Right behind the Legion building is a small green garage-like structure....and behind that is a large pavilion, readily seen from the highway. Look for a shuttered convenience store right along Route 73, perhaps 300 yards away. The meeting will center on a discussion relative to rebuilding the High-Hoch Cemetery in Cumru Twp., near Poplar Neck. This is a significant issue. You are invited to attend--and URGED to join the BCAGP.
