The Charles S. Cock House Museum was the setting in June for a special luncheon honoring all of the past chairs of the Heritage Association Guild. Current Guild Chair Carmen Imel proposed the gathering to provide an opportunity to reminisce and express appreciation to this special group who have demonstrated the true spirit of volunteerism. Current Heritage Association President Jane Hughson thanked the ladies for their efforts.

Since its inception in 1975, this group has made major contributions to historic preservation in the San Marcos community, including the renovation of the Cock House Museum and the Eli Merriman Cabin.
In the beginning, a small group of women known as the Bicentennial Belles dressed in long prairie-style dresses every Friday, brought in their own card tables and folding chairs, and made soup, sandwiches and desserts to serve to attendees. Since then, the effort has grown to approximately 35 groups in town who host Friday lunches, providing warm, friendly service to anywhere from 50-100 patrons.
