Treasure Island’s 1939 Golden Gate Exposition

April 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

What do the Lafayette Historical Society, The Treasure island Museum Association and the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition have in common?

The mystery began one morning here in the History Room in early 2010 and will end on May 10 at the Annual Meeting & Potluck Dinner!

Join your friends, neighbors and fellow Lafayette Historical Society members at our Annual Meeting and Potluck Dinner on Tuesday, May 10 at 6:00 pm in the Community Hall in the Lafayette Library & Learning Center and you will find out!

Anne Schnoebelen, vice president of the Treasure Island Museum Association and curator of the artifacts on display in the Library & Learning Center and the History Room, is the featured speaker at the meeting. Anne and her colleagues will bring unique and very interesting artifacts from the 1939 Exposition for everyone to view.

Don’t miss this annual event and very special presentation!
