| WWI Commemorative Events at
the Waccamaw Library
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, the Friends of the Waccamaw Library (FOWL) are sponsoring two events to recognize this momentous occasion. On Thursday, November 1, Georgetown photographer and historian Paige Sawyer will present "Over There", a photographic and anecdotal retrospective of Americans who were fighting in World War 1. Our historian presenter, always a favorite of local audiences, will transport us to the closing days of "the Great War" during what is sure to be a compelling and thought-provoking, visuals-based discovery. Free and open to the public
On Veterans' Day, Sunday, November 11, FOWL is sponsoring a Members-Only event from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. The program, called "Over Here, Over There", will feature the Pawleys Island Concert Band performing a variety of patriotic songs focused on WWI, including marches from all five service branches, George M. Cohan's "Over There", "Stars and Stripes Forever", the National Anthem, and other patriotic songs of the era. There will be an intermission and homemade refreshments. Please join our FOWL members in celebrating this historic anniversary with a wonderful program of music from the World War I era. To renew your membership, or to become a member, you can either join online at www.thefowl.org or come to the Friends Center in the lobby of the Waccamaw Neck Branch Library.
Thank you for your support of the Friends of the Waccamaw Library.
The library is so much better because you care. | | | |
