CHAPIN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION PUBLIC
INFORMATION SESSION
|
The Chapin Historical Association (CHA), in concert with the Town of Chapin and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH), has embarked on the formal nomination process to secure a National Register designation for the Chapin Commercial Historic District.
The National Register designation is primarily an honor bestowed by the State and the Federal government.
The proposed district includes ten buildings located in the downtown area along Beaufort Street, Clark Street, Lexington Avenue and Chapin Road. In December, Requests for Proposals (RFP) were sent to qualified consultants to select the representative that would be used for the formal nomination process.
Last week, the selection committee tapped Dr. Eric Plaag, Principal Consultant, Carolina Historical Consulting to represent them in this effort. Dr. Plaag has his
PHD in American History from the University of South Carolina and a wealth of historical experience completing over
20 NAHP and local historic designation, nominations and evaluations.
On Monday February 4, the
Chapin Historical Association
invites the public to Chapin Town Hall,
(157 NW Avenue, Chapin)
for a public information session
at 6:00 p.m.
|
|
They will introduce the project
and answer questions from those in attendance. They ask all individuals
whose oral history commentary, historic images and historic documents might
be of a valuable resource to Dr. Plaag’s research of the buildings themselves to attend this session.
This information will help to define the role that Chapin played in the developmental history of the larger, so-called Dutch Fork historic region and Lexington County.

QUILTS OF VALOR PRESENTATION
The Quilts of Valor Foundation was started by a woman named Catherine Roberts,
whose own son was deployed to Iraq.
It literally began with a dream she had, which resulted in her gathering three of her own friends who were quilters.
The first quilt was awarded in 2003 at Walter Reed Army Hospital, to a young soldier who had lost his leg in Iraq.
It has since evolved into a National
organization,which seeks to cover all veterans with a warm and comforting quilt. There are thousands of volunteers across the country creating these beautifully handmade quilts.
|
|
To date there have been over 209,000 quilts awarded.
It is the goal of the Quilts of Valor Foundation to cover veterans affected by war with a warm and comforting quilt.
The program originally was called
“Quilts for Soldiers” because Catherine
did not realize that not all veterans are
called soldiers. The name was then changed to quilts of Valor, and even this name throws people off.
Veterans are very humble human beings, and when asked if they’ve ever been awarded a quilt of Valor,
they all say the same thing like
"I didn’t do anything to deserve this
award, please give it to someone
more deserving."
The public is cordially invited to attend the
Quilts of Valor presentation on
Friday February 15, 2019
at the American Legion Hall Post 193
here in Chapin, located at
102 Lexington Avenue.
The ceremony will begin promptly at
7:00 p.m. with light refreshments served immediately after.
This will include our own Mayor David W. Knight, who will be accepting this award in honor of his father.

The mechanic or auto technician who is working on your car is essentially a car doctor. You wouldn't go to a doctor who wasn't a licensed MD. So, how can you be sure the car-doctor / auto technician working on your car has the experience, enterprise and skill to be repairing and servicing your vehicle?

THURSDAY
JANUARY 31st, 2019
|
|
January 31st honors everything backward. National Backward Day is an opportunity to reverse our ways, our direction or simply our shirt. Dessert for breakfast, perhaps? There are many ways to celebrate this fun day, so just let your imagination be your guide.
|
|
This day is very popular with school-aged kids, but there is no age limit on who can participate in all of the backward fun. So EVERYONE, let’s have some fun!!
FUN FACT: Leonardo da Vinci wrote backward. Not only did the artist and inventor write from right to left, but he also wrote his letters backward.
|
|
NATIONAL INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART DAY
|
Always observed on January 31st, National Inspire Your Heart With Art Day is a day to ponder how art affects your heart.
Art is valued and appreciated for all
sorts of reasons.
|
|
Of the broad spectrum of art created in the world, the pieces that move us to tears or cause us to burst out into joyous laughter remain with us for a lifetime.
Whether we are touched by music or see into an artist soul through their work, art has the power to change us,
to inspire our hearts.
Inspire Your Heart with Art Day
encourages us to explore the many
genres of art and let it inspire us.
