Schoolhouse Speakers Series Tuesday, November 29 at 7pm ­ John McDonald will be joining us. Please bring treats to share for our refreshment table. Tuesday February 28th at 7pm- Annual General meeting Schoolhouse Archives Our October open house was well attended again. We had some nice compliments on the renovations from visitors who have not been by in some time. Our next open houses are March 23 & May 18th. Feel free to drop by and bring something for "show & tell"! The school is open 1:30-3:30 for people to go through our archives, to visit and reminisce. In 1957, the Oakville Loyal Orange Lodge No. 3234 and Bronte Orange Lodge No. 257 celebrated Oakville's Centennial Year with a parade through town as well as a dinner/dance at the Oakville Trafalgar Arena. The TTHS has a copy of the official Souvenir Programme that contains a history of the Orange Order, but no history of the local lodges- including the one at Hornby No. 165. WE would appreciate information, pictures etc. so that we can add material to our archives. Items can be scanned and returned if you wish. TTHS Fall Fair We had 100 people join us for the fall fair and raised $200 with book sales and our BBQ. We had visitors from as far away as England & Spain. Thanks to all our volunteers who chipped in and to our friends Fred Hayward from the Loyalist Association, and Dorothy Kew from Halton Peel OGS and our re-enactor Mavis Wilson. Matthew Wilkinson provided a display from Heritage Mississauga and Anne Choate Little organized all our scanned images so people were able to view them at the schoolhouse. Ross Wark & Irene Saunders provided some great booklets for sale and Ross brought along his photos for sale (including the one pictured here) Charlie Hughes children's play table was a big hit! TTHS Board Meetings Our upcoming board meetings are at the schoolhouse at 3pm on Tuesday December 19th, & Tuesday January 17th. Please let us know if you are interested in attending. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate in discussion. michelle@tths.ca Scanning Anne Choate Little has scanned all of the Fred Oliver photos and information that we received from his family. They can be found at http://images.halinet.on.ca/search. Anne reports that we can now avoid all non-TTHS uploads to Halton Images in the OurOntario.ca website by going directly to our own TTHS section at http://images.ourontario.ca/trafalgartownship/search This allows us to search, browse and view only items in the TTHS collection. If you want to retrieve everything we've uploaded, put your cursor in the Search query box, hit the space bar once, and press enter. 2
