The first is on Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to noon, and the second is on Monday May 23, from 4-7 p.m.The scanning is free, and Future Focus only asks that you bring along any information about the picture and provide any names you can of those appearing in the photos.High school and community sports pictures, team or individual from 1900 up through the present are being sought, along with community sports photos from years ago.Also of interest is any old ticket stubs, programs, and so forth, from high school athletic events.For more information, contact Marilyn at (610) 767-5817, or Robert at (610) 767-7626.
