Calendar of Events

____________________________

We're so pleased to be back in the Old Library again!  The Afton Avenue Streetscape site work completely surrounded the building since last August causing us to cancel our fall and holiday activities.

Now we're ready to go with an outstanding schedule of events for 2013.  Please  be sure to mark your calendars for the upcoming spring and summer seasons and encourage your friends and neighbors to come out, too.

Mother's Day Plant Sale - It's going to be just ducky!

Saturday, May 11

9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

At the Old Library by Lake Afton

Surprise Mom and Grandma with pots of pretty flowering plants that have special additions tucked within the blossoms - little yellow Yardley ducks hand-decorated by you or the kids.  We'll have the plants, ducks, decorating materials, and bows ready to help you give very special Yardley gifts.

Program - "William Penn and the Lenape Indians"

Thursday, May 16

7:30 p.m.

At the Old Library by Lake Afton

Who better to present a program about William Penn than Douglas Miller, the Historic Site Director of Pennsbury Manor, Penn's recreated home along the banks of the Delaware River.  Mr. Miller will tell us about the centuries-old legends of Penn's relationships with Native Americans, especially the Lenape.  He will explore both the facts and fiction of Penn's interactions with the people who were here first and welcomed the newcomers from over the ocean.  The unintended consequences for the Lenape will also be revealed.
