We still have copies of the wonderful pictorial history book, Germantown, written by Mary Jansen Parrent.  If you’d like to purchase a copy the price is $21.99.  All proceeds go to the recently formed Germantown Historical Society and checks should be made to that organization.

We have preregistration forms available for the spring health fair sponsored by St. Joseph’s Hospital.  Screenings will be held at various sites around the county beginning March 7 and ending April 5.  To reduce your wait on the day of your screening, it’s recommended you mail in a preregistration form at least 1 week in advance.  Testing is very low cost and some screenings are even free!
