Approximately 35 FOOA members gathered together for our Annual Dinner Meeting on Saturday, November 12 at the American Legion on S. Manheim St. in Annville. Following a wine and hors d'oeuvres social, we were treated to a marvelous buffet dinner prepared by Becky Briody's Chef on the Go.

Following dessert, President Michael Schroeder presented a slide show covering the many activities and events carried out by Friends of Old Annville in 2022. President Schroeder then led a business meeting that included election of a slate of officers of the Board of Directors, a treasurer's report by Matt Woolson, and a presentation of the Historic Building Award to Rotunda Restaurant and Brewry (see image) for their restoration of that historic treasure in Annville.
