HISTORICAL LUNCHEON FOCUSES ON LOCAL WOMEN’S HISTORY
March is Women’s History Month and the DuBois Area Historical Society will carry that theme into its luncheon Saturday, March 9 at noon at the Senior Center in DuBois.
The program “Women’s Contribution to Local History” will will feature performers portraying DuBois area luminaries including a philanthropist, teacher, lumberman’s wife, religious leader, pilot, pioneer, trapper’s wife, and murderer. Local women will perform all of the roles.
Cost for the luncheon, which will include Italian Wedding Soup from Luigi’s Ristorante and sandwiches from Subway, is $10.
Reservations are due by March 1. Send reservations and checks made payable to the DuBois Area Historical Society to P. O. Box 401, DuBois, Pa., or call 814-371-9006 or email duboisareahistory@yahoo.com
