8/22/2005

BOWLING GREEN Hurt by dwindling investment earnings, the Wood County Historical Society hopes to give its endowment fund a boost by raising $30,000 for the endowment.

Calling it the 30/50 Fundraising Campaign, the historical society announced plans to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Wood County Historical Center, which opened in 1975, and the 50th anniversary of the historical society, which held its first meeting in 1955.

Interest income from the endowment fund supports educational programs, exhibits, and artifact preservation at the historical center. Anyone interested in contributing may contact the director, Christie Raber, at the historical center.
