Dear Member:
We are indeed proud to present to you this first number of The Settler. It marks an important step by your society. Some forty years ago the society issued an annual for about ten years, which contained papers which had been read before the society. As we no longer have papers, The Settler will contain specially written articles. It will come to you four times a year.
To make this possible we will have to have a larger membership. As you know we are now engaged in a campaign for new members, with our goal set at 1200. I am going to ask each of you to assume a serious responsibility – to secure one new member. Surely that is not an impossible task. Since our present membership is over six hundred, it would mean the immediate attainment of our goal. Will you accept the challenge? A three cent stamp will bring the new application to your Director, L.E. Wilt, Towanda. I am counting on you.
Note: THE SETTLER is a quarterly publication of Bradford County History.
This publication can be obtained by contacting us at bchs@CQServices.com.
The cost of THE SETTLER is $4.25 (including shipping). THE SETTLER is also
available in the Museum Gift Shop. You can automatically receive THE SETTLER
by mail by simply becoming a MEMBER of the Society.
