Fund raising
We currently have $4900 in the Bicentennial fund. I am requesting another $1000 from the town of Bovina and will be seeking grant funds from several sources.
The Bovina Historical Society will be hosting a book signing party for the recently released History of the Town of Bovina, Delaware County, New York on Thursday, October 17 starting at 6 pm. Copies of the book will be for sale, as will the Bovina Bicentennial Posters. All proceeds from the evening will benefit the Town of Bovina Bicentennial fund.
Stay tuned. More projects are in the works, including a knitting project to create a Bovina afghan.
