The Annual Members-Only Meeting is reserved for North Berrien Historical Society Members. Doors are at 5:00 p.m. There will be a made-to-order dinner prepared by La Chula Mobile starting at 5:30 p.m. The annual meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the program following at 7:00 p.m.

The evening program will be Crazy, Weird and Bizarre Michigan Highway Signs presented by Dr. John Geisler, who will be sharing a collection of road and highway signs that will entertain, inform and delight. He has driven over 5,000 miles conducting research on the history of highways in Michigan. While doing so, he has noted and recorded highway signs that seem out of place, out of joint, or out of this world. For example, a sign on a county road near Albion, MI that reads: "WATCH FOR WATER UNDER BRIDGE." He has always believed that's where it was supposed to be! In addition, he will be presenting materials on signage that will be helpful and interesting to all those who drive on highways and roads.
