Historical Society Looks at By-Laws

Cathy Over, of the Williamsburg Historical Society, said that the Historical Society “is well on it’s way to finally becoming a legal entity.” The group was created by Williamsburg residents to help keep the history of our town alive and their Executive Board met last Wednesday evening, July 6th.

For months, the Society has been looking for a lawyer to complete their 501.c.3. application to become a legal entity, and one was introduced during the meeting – Michael Routch said he would complete 501.c.3. for the Historical Society.

Routch was also asked to look through the club’s bylaws and their membership fees. His findings would be presented at the next meeting. Right now, if you would like to make a donation to the Historical Society, it is suggested to send the check to the Williamsburg Public Library earmarked to the Historical Society.

“We still have a lot of business that we need to iron out,” board member Over says, “but we just want to let everyone know what is going on and how we are moving forward.”
