The Pompano Beach Historical Society will end its 2005-2006 season of public meetings on Wednesday, May 17th, with an old-fashion covered dish supper.

Members and friends of the Historical Society are invited to bring a dish to share and partake of the best meal in Pompano Beach that evening. The event begins at 6:30 PM at the Dick & Miriam Hood Center, 217 NE 4th Avenue, Pompano Beach.

That evening the Historical Society will also present its annual award to an individual who has put forth extraordinary effort to preserve local history. Previous recipients have been Don Downie (2002), David Butler (2003), Bud Garner (2004) and Eldes Whitsett (2005).

Also, the Historical Society's new officers and directors will be installed into office by Broward County Historian Helen Landers.

This is always one of the most enjoyable events of the year, and you won't want to miss it.
