Last night members and friends of the Historical Society gathered at the Dick & Miriam Hood Center to kick off the 2005-06 season of monthly programs with a covered dish supper.

About 50 people enjoyed some great cooking and heard about the Historical Society plans for the upcoming season as well as issues related to the preservation of our past, including monthly programs, Pompano Beach's Centennial celebration, the Green Market's third season, revitalization of Pompano's historic downtown, the annual antique show and the Sample-McDougald House restoration. Guests also viewed a new photographic exhibit on historic homes in Pompano Beach.
