Diane Jones of the Fryeburg Historical Society recently addressed the Club on the origination and remodeling of the new Historical Society’s building in Fryeburg. Diane’s enthusiastic presentation and Power Point presentation was so interesting and compelling that at a subsequent Board of Director’s meeting the Fryeburg Area Rotary Club decided to donate $500 to the Fryeburg Historical Society. The Historical Society recently purchased the July 25, 2013 house at 83 Portland St., and has been restoring and renovating the property. The Fryeburg Historical Society is a non-profit organization and donations to them are tax deductible. If you wish to donate to the Fryeburg Historical Society, you can donate through their web site at www.fryeburghistorical.org. The picture is Diane Jones at the Fryeburg Area Rotary Club’s weekly Tuesday morning meeting. We meet at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, at 7:30 a.m. on each Tuesday. Please join us.
