Membership Meeting
2024:
The annual membership meeting was held Saturday January 20, 2024 at the society headquarters 416 Weldon Street. Doors opened at 10:30. The meeting started at 11:00.
Following a brief business session, we presented a very special program titled:
"Mr. Rogers - In His Own Words"
(a 1991 taped interview with Fred Rogers).
Listen to Mr. Rogers himself talk about his family and life growing up in Latrobe. The narration is accompanied by family pictures and pictures from our files.
The meeting is open to historical society members only. Refreshments were served following the program. As always, new members were welcome.
