We have a surplus of the 2009 Clyde Singer calendars and are offering them for sale at $2.00 per calendar. The calendars are a great look into Malvern’s past through the eyes of nationally recognized artist, Clyde Singer. Singer was born in Malvern in 1908 and died in 1999.

The keepsake calendar has 15 images, all of excellent quality, relating to Malvern in some way.

Purchases are considered a tax-deductible donation to the Malvern Historical Society in effort to maintain the building, located at 108 East Porter Street, and the collections therein.

Shipping for those out of town is $3.00 for one calendar and will be adjusted accordingly if multiple calendars are requested.

Did you know Malvern has a village flag and the Malvern Historical Society had a hand in choosing the design? The initial project to create a village flag was sponsored by Malvern American Legion Post 375 under the direction of Adjutant Ted Burckett and Mayor Dale Lewis.
Doing a little early Spring cleaning yesterday, we have rummaged up some fun files from 1999: the not so distant past, one might say.
This article was published in the Malvern Community News on August 12, 1999 and showcases the winner of the flag design contest. Shown here recognizing the occasion at Malvern Village Hall are (from left to right): Joe Columbo, Past Adjutant of American Legion Post 375 Ron Suciu, Miss Maura Gahan (winner of the contest), Malvern Historical Society President Frances L. Montella, Mayor Dale Lewis and Malvern Historical Society Secretary Jason Lombardi.
Did you submit an entry back in 1999 participating in this design contest? If so, we most likely still have your entry drawing. Leafing through files, we have come across a folder of submissions and we would like to offer them back to those who created them.
Stop by our building on Saturday mornings between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon to claim your entry drawing; they are free to the rightful original submitter.
