May 6, 2021 CARTHAGE – May will be a busy month for Carthage so mark your calendars. May 11 the Library Guild will be sponsoring a free presentation by author Sandy Black (“Oh Those Old One Room School Houses and the Children They Taught”) at the Marick Event Center (300 East Street Carthage, IN). A meet and greet, presentation, and book signing with Black will begin at 6:30 p.m. Ms. Black visited last year and her presentation was highly recommended and enjoyed by all. Since getting involved in our community last year, Black regularly donates a portion of her book sales to the FOC Hidden Gem Scholarship. Presently one $1,000 scholarship is awarded to a Ripley Township graduating senior. It is the hope of those involved to move to two scholarships in the near future.
