Patty Richards Guest Speaker at Rotary
Patty Richards (right) was the guest of Rotarian Marcy Mumford (left) at Tuesday’s weekly Rotary Club meeting at Richards Farm, discussing the Quincentennial–250 years celebration. The local theme will incorporate the city’s brand, dubbed “The Big 250: Casey Celebrates America.”
Planned festivities include a “history fair” at the high school gym involving students from fifth grade through senior year, and a community-wide essay contest titled “What America Means to Me,” featuring $250 prizes.
Richards also highlighted a unique event scheduled for June 13: a birthday party for Mary Katherine Goddard. Richards noted that Goddard was the first person to print the Declaration of Independence with her name at the bottom, a historical detail the committee hopes to highlight.
