Now is a good time to join or renew your membership in the non-profit East End/East Liberty Historical Society. Dues are $20/year. Send checks made out to the Society at 5907 Penn Ave., Suite 305, Pittsburgh PA 15206. Members receive a quarterly bulletin called Bit-Of-History, in which each issue features a person or place in the community of historic interest. By joining the Society, you also help support an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in our East End neighborhoods. As always, copies of our book Pittsburgh's East Liberty Valley are available for $20, tax-free; contact me at 412-661-5947. Al Mann
