The first quarterly meeting will be held Saturday, March 27 at 1PM at the interim museum at 33 Main Street. Guest speaker is IBAHS Vice President Lynda Maghoney Montano.
Lynda's presentation is "Roots in the Delta: The Filipino Experience" which is a little-known aspect of sociological inquiry.
Lynda was born and raised in "the Delta," and will share her photo display and life on the Filipino Farm Labor Camps, the labors of the Filipino Farmers and their presence in helping to establish "the Delta" as a major agricultural center in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.
The photo displays may include cannery labels and Isleton Main Street of long ago. Refreshments will be provided. This is a FREE event, however, museum donations are very gladly welcome!
