Our speaker today was Malta Town Historian Paul Perreault, who told us the bizarre story of daredevil serial killer Gary Evans and his connection to Malta's Civil War hero Elmer Ellsworth.

Last week's speaker was Councilman Craig Warner, who spoke about issues surrounding public water supply in town. The week before, Dwight Havens gave us an overview of what's going on with our volunteer fire departments in town.

On Saturday Oct. 1, two of our members will sell Ugandan crafts to help support AOET at the Malta Cultural Arts Festival at the Community Center.

Today we resumed our weekly deliveries of food to Chango Elementary School as part of the Shenendehowa Bountiful Backpacks program.
