Join the Berks County Community Foundation for a community forum entitled \u201cWhat\u2019s New at Berks History Center\u201d on Wednesday, Dec. 10, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., via Zoom.<\/p>\n

History doesn\u2019t change. What we learn from the past helps us understand the world that we live in; it offers context. The past informs the present, and at present, the Berks History Center is facing a crucial moment.<\/p>\n

The Center was founded in 1869 to preserve and celebrate Berks County\u2019s Cultural Heritage. It needs structural changes to improve the building, enhance the exhibits, and make it a more engaging public space.<\/p>\n

The Center is focused on reimagining Berks County\u2019s history by including more contemporary stories that truly reflect the history, legacy, and diversity of our region.<\/p>\n

And now, the Center has a new Executive Director, Amanda McCoy.<\/p>\n

Join the Berks County Community Foundation for its next community forum to learn more about the Berks History Center and its goal to portray the unique story of Berks County and its diverse population.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to register. There is no fee to attend; individuals who register, however,\u00a0will receive a recording of the forum once the event has concluded. As a cybersecurity measure, the foundation requires all attendees to\u00a0authenticate their personal Zoom account before joining the meeting.<\/p>\n
