NEW KNOXVILLE – “We’re blowing the roof off donations,” said Todd Spieles, president of the New Knoxville Historical Society. Burgeoning donations for a first-ever fundraising effort are guaranteeing much-needed renovation work at the New Knoxville Historical Society property in the village.
On Tuesday, Spieles said the donations already stand at $16,292 toward their $25,000 goal. The campaign, which began Dec. 14 and ends Feb. 14, will fund repairs of five buildings owned by the society. This is the first fundraiser for the Historical Society since being formed in 1984.
