A Letter From Our President
If you missed October's meeting (like I did), you missed a wonderful guest speaker from Tryon Palace, a member of their Educational Department who explained the history of the building and development of the project over the years. Did you know the governors of the palace were oftentimes not present at the location for years?
We also had a push to raise money and ended up with $200, for our
communities in the west to aid in their recovery from Hurricane Helene. Our 50/50 raffle saw a repeat winner who graciously donated a portion of his winnings to our fund drive.
Hope you all had a chance to enjoy that
weather at this year's MumFest. New Bern has many seasonal events coming up including the Ghost Walk 2024, on Oct 24th, put on by the New Bern Historical Society and the Beary Not-So-Scary Halloween in Downtown New Bern on Oct 26th. In addition we have lots of fun activities scheduled. Follow the link to check them out at by clicking on the .Activities. button.

Colours Pavilion on December 13th. It is first come,first serve on reservations and will cost $40
