ALTON — The Alton Historical Society program for August 16 will be a presentation by Paul Richardson on the U.S. Mail Boat Tonimar. Richardson worked on the boat during the late 1950s and his program will feature a DVD of the Tonimar's daily route as it delivered mail.
The program will be held at the Gilman Library at 7 p.m. The society is sponsoring a "Bring a Friend Membership Drive" during August and September. Those who bring a friend will have their name entered in a drawing for a gift card at Shibley's At The Pier, donated by David Shibley, which will be awarded in October.
