Ordinary Meeting - Community & Vocational Night

Thu, Apr 2nd 2009 at 12:00 am - 2:00 am

We're sure to be enlightened by this feature in which we hear about the introduction of electrical power to the community at large and the parts played by such as Armstrong, Edison, Swan, Westinghouse, Parsons, Topsy and the presidential assassin, Czolgosz, who ended his miserable life with a hair-raising experience.
