Austin Dam Memorial Association Meets Tomorrow Night

The regular monthly meeting of the Austin Dam Memorial Association  will take place tomorrow night, June 30th, at 7:00 p.m. at the E.O. Austin Home/Historical Society.

(Please note that the ADMA has changed their monthly meetings to the LAST Tuesday of each month)

 The Austin Dam Memorial Association was formed in 1994 and works diligently to preserve the dam remains and to maintain a beautiful natural park.

The ADMA is actively recruiting new members and all members of the public are invited to attend their monthly meetings.
