Natural disasters like Hurricane Hugo and the eruption of Mount St. Helens were featured. People gave programs showing the status of women and slaves. Informative programs on restoring court records and how to research your family history were given. Book reviews, bus trips, and presentations about countries around the world educated those who attended. Indian artifacts, dolls from around the world, and many relics from local, national, and world history were displayed.
