Greater Bath Chamber will hold a HALO (Helping And Leading Others) networking fundraiser benefiting Governor Wolf Historical Society 5:30-7:30 p.m. Jan. 18. The event will be held at 6600 Jacksonville Road. Highlights include hors d’oeuvres, refreshments, guided tours and a short program on the restoration of the Ralston McKeen House.

The history of the Governor Wolf property is significant, as it was the beginning of public education in Pennsylvania in the 1800s.

All donations will go to Governor Wolf Historical Society for the restoration of the Ralston McKeen House, built in 1795. The two story Scots-Irish home is being brought back to its original form. The historical society will restore the kitchen wing, one story loft and walk-in fireplace area.

A donation is requested. To register for the event, contact Renee Keiderling at reneek@lehighvalleychamber.org or 484-548-4090.
