Bexley Woman’s Club 2006 Calendars

The Bexley Woman’s Club has produced a limited edition calendar for 2006.  The artwork, by Edie Mae Herrell, class of 1947, includes Montrose, Maryland, the Cassingham complex, Jeffrey Mansion and Drexel Circle among the twelve prints in Wedgwood blue on ivory heavyweight paper.  The prints are suitable for framing.

Proceeds for this project will go towards community donations, as well as social service concerns.  In the recent past, donations have included a portion of the historical marker in front of the library, a chair in the high school auditorium, a bench at Jeffrey Mansion, the new flag in Drexel Circle, assistance for CHOICES, The Center for New Directions and A Special Wish Foundation, Inc.

The calendars sell for only $5.00 each and can be ordered by contacting Alycia King via telephone at 614/231-5188, via email at aking1@columbus.rr.com or via mail at 753 Grandon Avenue, Bexley OH 43209-2575.  Delivery is available within Bexley.  Postage to mail them is $1.05 extra.  Remaining calendars are limited and no more will be printed when the current supply is depleted.
