August 19, 2010:  Twenty-one Rotarians and guests (Scott Oliver and Lynn Askew) visited the Snyder County Historical Museum in Middleburg, PA., hosted by Rotarian and Museum Curator, Toby Skinner. Lunch subs were purchased from a new Selinsgrove business, Taste of Philly. John Bickhart was the lucky member who sat in the chair where he was the recipient of the Taste of Philly card which entitles him to a free sub. Lynn Askew assisted Toby in the kitchen getting food out for the crowd. The museum, with its two floors of displays, hall, and archives is completely operated by volunteers who are part of the historical society. To join the society costs $20 per year or $200 for a life-time membership. Programs this past year included the extremely well attended program by a “Teddy Roosevelt” actor.
