It was good to see GPS members back for our September 9th meeting. After a brief meeting to vote on the annual budget, we enjoyed a video called Forgotten Crossroads-Vischer Ferry. It was produced by Brookside, Jim Richmond and Dave Waite. Vischer Ferry is a lovely little community, not far from here, with interesting Erie Canal history and beautiful old homes.
We are in need of a member who will keep track of our membership. Please be in touch with Bruce Sanders. This is the time of year to renew your membership.

The October 7th meeting will start at 7:00pm with our speaker, Scott Young. He will speak about the 115th NY Infantry of the Civil War, with attention to local soldiers from Galway and the surrounding area. Hope to see you there. The GPS board will meet on Wednesday, October 9th, 7:00pm at Town Hall. All members are welcome.
