WANTED: Presenters for Programs Related to Spain

The Friends of the Beaufort Library is co-hosting a trip to Spain next April with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) and the Santa Elena Foundation to visit the sites and also explore Beaufort’s Spanish roots based on the 1566 settlement on present-day Parris Island of Santa Elena by Pedro Menendez de Aviles. In addition to visiting all the major attractions in southern Spain, we will meet with the Count whose ancestor was that settler.
