PLEASE SCROLL DOWN A COUPLE MESSAGES TO LEARN ABOUT COMING EVENTS ON THESE DAYS. I had saved the message in draft folder until I verified several facts. Smart old computer posted the message for the day I started it instead of when I posted it. Just goes to show -you can't fool the computer!! Anyway- we hope to have some community activities at the Lindley Town Hall on these days. More as we plan the events! Kitty

On Thursday 3/25/2010 , Durland Weale - who grew up in Lindley gave a program " Downtown Lindley "describing what the hamlet of Lindley was like in the 1920's/30's for the Lindley/Presho Historical Society. As usual, his program was interesting and informational. Hopefully, he will share more memories with the group in the future.
