The DuBois Area Honor Guard will be the topic for guest speaker Mike Skehan, the Guard’s commander, at the DuBois Area Historical Society’s 28th Annual Dinner, Thursday, Feb. 5, 6 p.m., at the DuBois Country Club.
The menu for the evening is a choice of honey glazed ham or stuffed chicken breast, served with Italian wedding soup, parsley potatoes, and green bean almandine, with cheescake with topping for desert. The price of the dinner is $20. Reservations should be made by January 26 by mailing to P.O. Box 401, DuBois, Pa., 15801, or by calling (814) 371-9006.

The DuBois Area Honor Guard has a long history, both in DuBois and nationally. Honor Guard members have served in the U.S. armed forces and conduct a ritual service at funerals of eligible veterans as requested by the family.
