Judy introduced our speaker today….Glenn Silloway who is the President of the Historical Society….
He relayed some history about Franklin Riley and his family, the founder of Morro Bay. Their original home was located on the corner of Morro Bay Blvd and Main Street. He planted many Eucalyptus trees to use as wind breaks Franklin and Hannah Riley lived here the rest of their lives and were buried in the cemetery in Cayucos. The proposed location of the proposed Franklin Riley Park is on Morro and Olive above Tidelands Park. There is a walkway from the park down to Tidelands. The Society needs support from Morro Bay residents so if you are interested in helping financially or other ways, you can Google Morro Bay Historical Society and contact them. Mary says she is a member of the society and they only have quarterly, painless and FUN potluck meetings. There are openings on the board as well …… they can always use new ideas and energy. The MBHSA is having a Community Party to inform residents about the use of Cerrito Peak on Saturday September 16 from 2-5 at that location. All are welcome.
Next meeting at the Fire Department and Library
50/50 drawing was won by Dale Reddell.
