Spring 2021 Message

Dear Members and Friends:

Happy Spring to all!

It has been an exceptionally long year, and I am hopeful that we are moving toward some sort of normal and on a road to recovery.

After reaching out to you in January, we named a few positions that needed to be filled so that we could continue operations. We received an amazing response, with people asking how to get involved. This was the best news we had in a year!

Firstly, I would like to thank Emelie Gerard, our 2020 vice president of development and also former secretary, for her work with the Historical Society. It became necessary for her to step away for a little spell and hope she can rejoin us down the road. With unanimous support of the board, I am delighted to announce Denice Renteria as our new vice president of development. She has worked extremely hard as our costumes chair, and she has many wonderful ideas to implement over the next two years!

Secondly, as you are reading this, we have successfully printed our newsletter again. I want to thank Michelle Bernardin and Carolyn O’Brien, (Carolyn is one of our newest volunteers) for putting this together again. Like many, we were noticeably quiet last year, but we are back!

Which brings me to our General Meetings and Programs. After reading of the change to programs in our January membership renewal letter, member Clare Denk inquired how she could help. She has volunteered to bring us a program this spring (see front page). This will be our very first virtual program, and I hope you will join us as we present pieces of our city’s history in a very modern modality.

Thank you for your continued support,

Hope
