MECHANIC FALLS — The Mechanic Falls Historical Society met recently and has decided to incorporate a major change in its meeting schedule.

With hopes of attracting more members to the society, the meeting day and time for the society’s monthly meeting has been changed to the third Sunday of each month at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Meetings will be held downstairs at the Mechanic Falls Historical Society, 64 Elm St.

September’s meeting is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20.

A community supper sponsored by both the Mechanic Falls and Minot Historical Societies is slated for 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3.  The menu for this supper will feature ham, beans, cole slaw and pot luck casseroles with choice homemade desserts. The cost will be $8 for adults and $4 for children 12 and younger. The supper will be held downstairs in the Community Hall of the Mechanic Falls Historical Society.
