CCHS Fireside Lecture Series presents The History of Fredonia Academy with Max Walters from Barker Museum.

For this kind of event flyer, I’d make the alt text detailed enough that someone using a screen reader gets all of the program information rather than describing the visual design. **Alt text:** > Chautauqua County Historical Society presents the Fireside Lecture Series at Patterson Library. Free and open to the public, the lectures are held the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m., September through December. September 3: “The Story of Lucile M.
