All programs are free, open to the public and will be held on the last Tuesday of each month, beginning at 7 p.m. The meetings will be held at Matthews Women's Club,     208 South Trade Street in downtown Matthews directly across from Matthews Elementary School.  Upcoming programs planned in the series are:

October 28, 2008

See Old Matthews Come Alive with pictures dating to the early 1900s of the Historic Downtown Block. A PowerPoint presentation of historic buildings past and present will be presented by Paula Lester.

There will be no Community Meetings during November and December due to the holidays. Plan now for 2009 with meetings on January 27, February 24, March 31, and April 28. Speakers will be announced at a later date.  Our Annual Open House will be combined with a Garden Tour and Strawberry Festival scheduled for May 2009. Please check back for more information.

Refreshments will be served at these events. Mark your calendars, plan to attend and learn what Matthews was like before the traffic, housing plans, and the population boom.

All events are open to the public free of charge.
