NEWS FROM THE “CELEBRATE LISBURN!”COMMITTEE

As you all know, on May 17, 2009 our Committee hosted a Village Tour. The tour was very successful thanks to many of you that either opened their homes for the tour or spent the day peeking in others homes.

On October 3, 2009 Lisburn Village will continue its celebration with a parade and Old-Fashioned Picnic/Founders Day on the Lisburn Community Fire Company’s Festival grounds.

The reason for this notice is to let you, our neighbors and friends know that we are very short of help. Our Committee is busy doing so many things as you can tell if you check out our website at VillageofLisburn.us. We have many items for sale, we are trying to plan our Founders Day and of course, the main reason for our Committee, to complete a new book about our Village. And, we want to wrap up the year with the New Year’s Eve drop and celebration.

Unfortunately, unless we can get more folks involved in our endeavors, some of these things may not happen. We started off with such a big bang with our tour that we want to continue the celebration!!! We know we have some folks in our Community and Village that have just the expertise we require. It’s going to be lots of fun and a great way to get to know your old and new neighbors!

Won’t you please help support us in this endeavor? For more information or to join our committee, please email LisburnVillage270@comcast.net.

Thank you for your consideration,
The Celebrate Lisburn! Committee Members

Our next meeting is August 26th at 7 p.m. at the Lisburn Fire Hall. Come and join us! Just look for the cars.
