LOCATION: Ladies Literary Club218 N. Washington Ypsilanti, Michigan
PROGRAM: 22nd ANNUAL HISTORIC STRUCTUREMARKER BANQUET AND AWARDS
So far, the spring of 1999 seems to be following in the footsteps of the spring of 1998! That's two years in a row of wonderfully warm weather and beautiful spring flowers! This bodes well for our annual spring event, the Historic Structure Marker Banquet. Once again, we take the opportunity to recognize and honor deserving property owners for the work they've done on their historic buildings. Since its inception, the Marker Program has recognized more than 125 homes, businesses, and churches in Ypsilanti for their significant historic architecture and continuing, sensitive maintenance.
The following owners of buildings will be awarded Historic Structure Markers this year and will be our special guests of honor on Wednesday, May 26th, at the Ladies Literary Club:
Since the Marker Banquet is always a very popular and well-attended event each spring, we urge you to contact one of the Banquet Chairpersons as soon as possible if you plan to attend. Call Shirley Durrett at 485-2054, Karen Nickels at 483-8896, or Penny Schreiber at 483-5688 to R.S.V.P. and to let them know what dish you might like to bring to supplement our table. (Marker Recipients are not expected to bring a dish, since they are our special guests.)
The evening begins with punch and hors d'oeuvres at 6:30 p.m., with dinner following at 7:15 p.m. The Marker program and presentations to recipients will follow. So do join us as we celebrate this glorious spring of 1999 and our treasure-trove of historic architecture. REMEMBER: space is limited, so call now!
