A dessert reception will follow.  Event, restrooms, and parking are adjacent and accessible.

Tickets are $30 by sending a check to WPS 3314 Myers Rd Medina 44256 or by using the QR Code.  Please include your email or text.

“The Sea Was Never Far” Book Presentation:  February 11, 2024, 2pm

Author Marion Boyer will speak about how she uncovered her grandmother’s secret that led her to travel to England and write her book “The Sea Was Never Far”.  Join us as Boyer unfolds the mystery, shares documents of London’s historic Foundling Home, and recreates the historical of fishermen and gutting girls during the English herring industry’s boom from 1900 to 1913.  She will tell of shipwrecks and salvage in the treacherous North Sea, of witness to the bomb dropped from a Zeppelin-the first aerial bombing of England, with images to accompany these fascinating stories.

Tickets are $10 at the door.  Light refreshments.  Event, parking and restrooms are adjacent and accessible.

Historic House Plaques

The WPS offers house plaques for houses in the township.  They are 9″ x 15″, solid aluminum, with our pinecone logo.  The plaques cost $90 each ($80 for WPS members).  The WPS will underwrite half of the cost for buildings over 100 years old.  The WPS will provide the date of the building and it’s original owner, and all available  history and photos of the building and it’s residents over the years, which we will research for you.
