The meeting will be held at the society’s museum at 200 E. Creek St. in Sallisaw.
Member Earl Strebeck said, “For this annual event members and guests are asked to bring in their rare or special historical objects. Some may want to wear a historical costume from the past. Each person will be given time to tell about their object or costume.”
Since May includes Memorial Day, Strebeck said, members will also commemorate the lives of two of the society’s charter members — Melba Denton and Faye Randolph — both of whom died during the past year.
A special memorial by society member John Denny will honor the late Wilma Mankiller, former Cherokee Nation chief.
