Subject: Jan Luncheon
From: New Friends




The January luncheon is only two short weeks away!  

 
  Ten years ago Christopher Lawing started taking pictures of different signs around Charlotte for a photography assignment.   This school project led him on a decade long journey of taking pictures of signs and learning the history behind them.  He has since published his pictures in  the  book Charlotte: The Signs of the Times in 2017. 

 Lawing has now created the Charlotte Signs Project and has partnered with the Charlotte Museum of History to create an exhibit called "Charlotte: Signs of Home."  Museum Development Director Lauren Wallace 
hopes that this project will bring back memories that we might have forgotten about and take us to a time and place in the last 20 to 50 years. 
 

Be sure to register for this event on January 27, so we can reminiscence together about times gone by!
