IO1 , <br /> <br /> WILLIAM G. HAMBY, JR, <br /> <br /> i7043782-3315 <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 /> Melen Arthur, who writes for the Cabarrus Neighbors, and who <br /> writes historical articles regarding Cabarrus County history, has <br /> suggested that our Boardappoint a Cabarrus County Bicentei~%ial <br /> Commission to prepare for activities and projects relating to the <br /> 1992 Bicentennial of the county. It is my expectation that these <br /> activities should be largely privately funded, and a oolmmission <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 the library, and this Bicentern~ial can help <br /> focus attention on preserving 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 /> Wi/~l' m G. Hereby, Jr. <br /> WGH/bh <br /> <br /> cc: J~mes W. Lentz <br /> R. Giles Moss <br /> Martha H.
