LHA California Chapter holds meeting on Sat 10/4

From Norman Root, president of the California Chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association:

Quarterly Chapter Meeting
Saturday, October 4, 2008
12:00 noon

Baker’s Square Restaurant
255 2nd St (at B St)
Davis, CA 95616
(530) 756-4190

Saturdays at noon is a very busy time for them. They will reserve a table for 20 in the back room. However, others may have to share the other tables in that room. There is plenty of parking all around the building.

They serve breakfast all day with a cost of about $7. Sandwiches run from $8 to $10.

The historic significance of the place is that we have been telling folks for years that this corner is where Lincoln Highway marker post #2369 once stood. I’m not so sure about that now, but, for sure, this is on the Lincoln Highway.

Joanne Pelz is the program, which will be about Lincoln Highway Volkswalks.  She has a mini Lincoln Highway Volkswalk planned for us beginning at 2nd and B.  This program is in keeping with our effort to acquaint a wider range of people with the Lincoln Highway.
