There were 26 of us at last week's "Muffins for Memories" program. Marcia Sarrouf baked muffins made from recipes in a 1940s cookbook found in the library's archives, and they were far less sweet than the muffins in today's cookbooks! She also arranged for others to bake modern muffins to share. The library provided coffee and tea.
Stories abounded. Emcee Justyna Carlson read articles from the May 3, 1948 North Adams Transcript, and related stories about each article. Her stories got the group talking, and one shared memory led to the next, and on and on. Some participants were surprised by how much they could remember of those long-ago days!
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Participants suggested we do more "Muffins for Memories" programs. Library and Historical Society personnel are considering schedule one reflecting on the 1950s in North Adams. Stay tuned for further information.
