Wylie Historical Society asks WISD to help record oral-history interviews, promotes spring luncheon and marker dedication

At the start of the March 10 meeting, Alexis Tapp of the Wylie Historical Society used the citizen participation period to invite school-district collaboration on a video-interview project and to promote upcoming society events.

"I'm Alexis Tapp with the Wylie Historical Society, speaking on behalf of the society," she said, and described an outreach project with Wylie ISD to videotape interviews for the society's archives, noting the district will provide a videographer. She also announced the society's spring luncheon on Saturday, March 28 at 11 a.m. at Saint Anthony's Pundit Hall and a historic-marker dedication planned April 19 at the Bridal House. Tapp invited the community to visit the society’s website to purchase tickets and support the organization.

Mayor Porter thanked Tapp for the presentation; the comment was recorded during the non-agenda public-comment period and no council action was required.
