Join us at a monthly meeting if you are interested in learning more about our area and preserving Galway’s past for future generations. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Meet neighbors, become involved with the community, and enjoy fresh home-baked treats each month! You do not need to be a member to attend the meetings, which begin at 7:00pm. Guests are always welcome to attend.<\/span><\/p>\n

We meet at the Galway Town Hall (see\u00a0map<\/span><\/a>), usually on the first Monday of each month. September’s meeting is the 2nd Monday because of Labor Day, November will be the 2nd Monday because of Election Day, January may be the 2nd Monday because of New Year’s holiday and in June a members’ picnic. No meetings are held in July or August. \u00a0See the Calendar for verification of date.<\/span><\/p>\n

Program presentations range from group discussions or panels by members, to speakers on local history or broader areas of interest relating to preservation. Look for our bright orange fliers around town announcing each month’s topic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
