Hey, are you a member of our society, or interested in becoming one?

This Saturday at 12 noon, in what, one day, will be our new home, we're holding a brief meeting. It's in the south wing, ground floor of the old Baptist Church, at 263 Old Main Street.

If you live in or near the Cliffside area, please come by, get a sneak peek at our new (as yet unrefurbished) quarters. You can help us map out our road ahead and, if you're so inclined, volunteer for one or more of our projects.

Stick a pin in your calendar. This Saturday, 12:00 noon, at the old church. (Through this door.)

Dear friends,

The newly-enacted tax laws take effect on January 1, just a few days from now. The revised regulations will dramatically affect how itemized deductions are calculated for the year 2018 and beyond. Therefore, if you anticipate making charitable contributions both this year and next, it will likely reduce your tax burden to double up, to make BOTH year's contributions in 2017.

And on that point, would you please consider our society when making your donation decisions? We need your help, now more than ever. There are two ways you can contribute: With PayPal - Just click the Donate button on the Remember Cliffside main menu. Or by mail - Send a check to "Society," 10612 Round Rock Road, Charlotte NC 28277. Please donate today.

And on another point, if you have not renewed your membership for 2018, please do so. (If you're not sure, go to Remember Cliffside > Explore > Society > Members Lists to check your Renew Date.) As you'll recall, the membership fee is $20 per calendar year. Send your check to the above address. Or use PayPal.

Happy holidays to you and yours.

Don't think for a minute there's going to be no Cliffside calendar for 2018! There is, and here's a sneak peek. We'll have them available at the society's Gathering on Friday night, Oct. 13, and at Cliffside Day on the 14th.

A few aren’t exactly obituaries, but merely short announcements of one’s death, like this one from Nov. 1, 1919. Most of the older ones were clipped from newspa...
