Continuing programs include the history luncheon series during the months of January through November, each featuring a different speaker and topic. Several of these for the first part of the year have already been set and we certainly invite each of you to attend whenever possible. We will also continue to encourage applications for the historic homes/building markers, encouraging homeowners and businesses to complete the paperwork and purchase the plaques for display. During the past two years, we have updated the bricks on the American Mile, so it will probably not be necessary to revisit that task for another two years or so. The program of placing historical literature (magazines) in waiting rooms at doctor's offices, barbershops, and other establishments may also be continued, depending upon the availability of donated materials. The committee will also work with Project HOLD staff on collecting and digitizing materials; and we will participate with other community groups that conduct events of a historical nature, including the Brazos Valley Veterans Association (Lynn Stuart Pathway at Veteran's Park), and the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History (Boonville Days). Finally, the committee will also cooperate in the updating of the College Station History Book, hopefully to see it published within one year or two at the most. The HPC is also recommending some new programs to be considered by the next committee and the City Council. First, is a low-key celebration of the 80h Anniversary celebration of the incorporation of the City of College Station. Some, /110, _ suggestions include having a birthday cake and celebration at the Bush Library ortLicleiticit at some city site accompanied by a slide show highlighting major events of the 5 st boil, years since 1938. Yrs, 464 A second project includes a publication (electronic or printed) which highlights 4 h. f the founders and famous people buried in the College Station cemetery. Since hh the old cemetery is essentially full or sold out, this is a good time to catalog the names and histories of the people interred there. A third project, arising from input from the community, involves the preparation and installation of interpretive signs identifying the history of the parks and streets in College Station. A fourth project, the impetus for which is also from other community sources, involves the establishment of a museum in the City of College Station. Since this would involve a building and considerable capital outlay, we would expect to have input from the City Council and from interested groups in the community. Such an endeavor would be beyond the resources of the HPC, but personnel could assist in planning, fund raising campaigns, and identification of resources to be displayed in the facility. This would be a multi -year activity. A final project, suggested by a member of the landmark commission, is to explore the combination of the duties of that commission with those of the Historic Preservation Committee. In summary, the Historic Preservation Committee of the City of College Station is a working committee that intends to continue established programs and to explore new ways of bringing our community's heritage to the attention of its citizens.
