We’ve got a great schedule of programs and events in the works this year, starting with a free Charter Day celebration on Sunday, March 8. We’ll mark Pennsylvania’s birthday with a program on “Anthracite Labor History” exploring labor organizing and activism in our region’s past. The program will be moderated by Dr. Robert Wolensky of King’s College and will include presentations by:
