The Northern Lehigh Historical Society recently received a $1,250 grant for the Venture Group from the Mickley/Fravel Charitable Trust.

The funds will be applied toward the cost of professional installation of fine mesh bird netting under the roof of the Slatington Trailhead pavilion.

The officers and members of the NLHS and Venture Group thank the trust for its ongoing, generous support.

The NLHS meets at 7 p.m. the last Wednesday of the month (except July and August) at Slatington Borough Hall.

The group’s meetings are held in conjunction with the monthly meetings of the Venture Group, a coalition of local nonprofit and community organizations dedicated to the betterment of the Northern Lehigh area.

The Northern Lehigh Historical Society Inc. is a 501(c)3 IRS tax-exempt organization.
