Lexington Log Cabins & Heritage Center announces its annual membership meeting to ratify officers and approve proposed changes to the By-Laws.

Annual Membership Meeting –A meeting of the general membership is held in the Fall each year to vote on issues pertaining to the general operation and ongoing management of the Heritage Center. This year the meeting will be held on Sunday September 13th at 2:00 p.m in the Heritage Center. All current members and those
interested in becoming members are encouraged to attend.

Agenda – Membership will be asked to approve Sherrie Zgabay, the interim member appointed to the board to fill the position left open by the late Paulette Schultz. Membership will vote to ratify the proposed slate of officers for the coming year. Current board members, acting as a governance committee, will offer proposed updates and amendments to the existing By-Laws. The changes will be outlined and offered for discussion before membership is asked to ratify the changes.

Program – A vintage documentary film about the origins of the miniature town display in the Poston Building has been reformatted to a more current media format. The film includes interviews with Mr. Jerry Poston (creator of the model) as well as several other well known “old timers” who talk about the history of Lexington. The film runs approximately 27 minutes. The Poston Building will be opened afterward for those wishing to see the model. Admission is always free, light refreshments may be provided. Donations are gratefully accepted.

ORSAG’S — what an amazing contribution this store, the Orsag family, and their employees have made to our community over the past 83 years!

For decades, Orsag’s has been so much more than a place to purchase furniture, appliances, and beautiful accessories in a convenient location. It has been a part of our homes—and, in so many ways, a part of our lives.

The things we purchased there became part of the places where we gathered with family, celebrated special occasions, welcomed friends, and created countless memories.

What a wonderful legacy of 83 years of serving families, building homes, and becoming part of the memories that make a house a home. ❤️

Evelyn’s was a Community anchor; bringing families and neighbors together during happy and difficult times to celebrate and honor their loved ones.
A local staple, it was a trusted shop that people visited over and over again throughout the years.
