Nassau, Bahamas - We had
a wonderful evening last Thursday Evening 2nd December. A good crowd
came out to celebrate our Christmas Fare and Book Sale (which we have held open
for another week).
Pictured below with President Jim Lawlor (far right) are Dr John Burton and Dr Jane Baxter, who
described their archaeology research on San Salvador in general and on the
Farquarson Plantations.
We had
an appreciative audience. (Thanks to Andrea Major for the photos)
And we
really enjoyed the food and drinks afterward thanks to the Management Committee
led by Beryl Strachan.
And
thanks also to June Maura, Sarah Oenbring and Cora Carey for their hard work on
the book sale.
And
another expression of gratitude to the volunteers who keep the museum during
theyear
