Join us for engaging presentations that explore local history, highlighting the people, places, and stories that shape our community.
We want to thank Sharron King, former chair of Fathoms ‘O Fun, for joining us at the June discussion with tales and pictures of her experiences over more than 30 years.
We are hoping to have a member of the current Fathoms board in July for more discussions.
