April 19 was a momentous day for the Swiss Historical Society of Bluffton and Pandora, Ohio.
We had our first Spring Meeting in our new Heritage Center that featured Fred Steiner previewing his book, “Our Swiss Story”. Eighty-eight people gathered to listen to Fred’s presentation. Thanks to Ray Rayburn it was also our first event that was live-streamed. Eleven people/persons from around the country watched our event live from their homes.
We also enjoyed the company of those who attended, while sitting around the tables and enjoying pie baked by Joyce Schumacher, Marcia Lugibihl, Chrissy Lugibihl and Sue Habeggar. We even used vintage china while sipping hot beverages. It was a day to remember!
A silent pie auction of hickory and walnut pies made with Dr. Ollie Lugibihl’s famous recipe ended our time together. All proceeds went to furnishing the new Children’s Discovery Room in our center.
Thank you to everyone who made this day possible.
