WILLIAM G, HAMBY, JR. <br /> <br /> CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA 28026-1732 <br /> <br /> (704) 782-3315 <br />August 30, 1989 <br /> <br /> Michael Ruffin <br /> County Manager <br /> Post Office Box 707 <br /> Concord, North Carolina 28026 <br /> <br /> RE: Cabarrus Bicentennial <br /> <br /> Dear Mike: <br /> <br /> Helen Arthur, who writes for the Cabarrus Neighbors, and who <br />writes historical articles regarding Cabarrus County history, has <br />suggeSted that our Board appoint a Cabarrus County Bicentennial <br />commission 'to prepare ~or activities and projects relating to the <br />1992 Bicentennial of the county, tt is my expectation that these <br />activities should be largely~privately funded, anda co~mmission <br />needs to begin early to begin fundraising and planning efforts. <br /> <br /> Although the Bicentennial is still two years away, there is <br />much to be done before that time rolls around. The Cannon <br />library in Concord has already begun the development of'a local <br />history section of thelibrary, and this Bicentern%ial can help <br />focus attention onpreserving early county history. <br /> <br /> Perhaps we.could put this on the agenda for discussion at <br />one of our October meetings to see if the Board might have some <br />ideas about the Bicentennial and might consider creating such a <br />commission. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Wii~l' m G.
