From the Spartanburg History Hub:

Join us for the second meeting of The Spartanburg History Hub on Thursday, March 25, at 7:00 pm, in the Family Life Center of Southside Baptist Church, 316 S. Church Street (turn into the parking lot and drive around to the back of the facilities). Emily Gore, Head of Digital Initiatives for the Clemson University Libraries, will be speaking to the group about digitizing collections and accessing digital resources in the state. There will also be time for everyone to introduce themselves and their particular connection to Spartanburg history. Brief announcements and fliers/brochures are encouraged. There is no charge for attending meetings of the Spartanburg History Hub and we wrap up by 8:00 pm.

Just received this via email and am posting it immediately since it’s scheduled for tomorrow.
