The Miracle of Technology
The miracle of technology
Where do you think we would be today without God, and technology?
Stop and think about the Red Sea when he parted it, could that be technology?
This word may not be in the Bible, but could it be the word they couldn’t understand, could it be technology?
How about when He turned water into wine, could that be magic or technology?
Now don’t get me wrong, I will agree with all the power in His hands, he can part the Red Sea, turn water into wine as you can see.
But at that time this word was not around, as you can see. So I’m just going to call it the miracle of technology.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE G.A.R. MUSEUM
Please consider attending the annual luncheon benefiting the museum on Saturday,
March 21, 2020.
The Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum and Library is the only museum in this area that is solely dedicated to preserving the history and telling the story of the Civil War.
The collection is recognized for its historical significance and features numerous relics of singular historical importance including: General Meade’s warhorse Old Baldy, handcuffs found in John Wilkes Booth’s trunk after the assassination, the strip of the pillowcase and Lincoln’s blood, Dr. Mary Walker’s medical case, the bullet that killed Col. Edward Baker at Ball’s Bluff, and the uniform of Col. DeWitt Clinton Baxter of the 72nd PA Infantry.
As members of the historical community, it is vitally important that we show our support for the museum, or this wonderful museum will disappear.
Please consider attending the annual luncheon benefiting the museum on March 21, 2020. This is so much more than a luncheon.
· You will have a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet both old and new friends who share your interest in history;
· We have a great keynote speaker, historian and author of many Civil War books, Bradley Gottfried;
· you can explore the books and merchandise from Jim Schmick’s Civil War and More;
· you will be eligible to win one of many great especially selected raffle prizes;
· and you will have an opportunity to purchase authentic Civil War relics.
All this while also helping us to secure the future of the museum.
Please check out the luncheon notice and make your reservation. Without your support, this wonderful and historic museum may well become a thing of the past; only a memory.

Frankford High at Overington Park
The Friends of Overington Park combined with students from Frankford High School on Saturday, February 23, 2020 for a winter day of park cleaning.
Well, it was supposed to be winter but the temp was 50+ and it was a sunny and a beautiful day. The FOOP’sters enjoyed the students cheerfulness and hard work ethic.
All park projects that Ms Diane had planned were completed ahead of time. The group celebrated with refreshments, storytelling and a photo op.
Next Overington Park Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 4th.
