From The President
April 2010
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Booth House Restoration Fund. We've had a wonderful response, and if you haven't had a chance to send your donation in, please do...we are not on a timeline! We are hoping to have the e!ectrical work completed during the summer months, and then get the plastering completed in the fall. Your donations, and a $5,000 grant through the efforts of Legislator Kate Browning, will make this happen!
The April General Meeting is Thursday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m. MaryLaura Lamont, docent at the William Floyd Estate, will be our guest speaker. Please don't miss this meeting! She has a wealth of information on the Floyd family.
The spring Victorian Tea is Saturday, April 24, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Reservations are still being accepted. Please contact Kayann Donaldson at 395.9870, or the Hisforical Society.number, 924.3401, soon to be sure you are a part of this wonderful afternoon. And ladies, if you are so inclined, please wear your Victorian finery!
On Sunday, May 16, at 10:00 a.m., noted local naturalist, Dava Stravinsky, will conduct a nature tour of the Sanctuary and Trail concentrating on native flora. In conjunction with the nature tour, our friends at the Mill House Inn are sponsoring a fundraiser for the Society for any food the remainder of the day. Please look elsewhere in the Newsletter for a coupon to be presented to your server. What a fun day! A little knowledge, a little exercise, and good food and drink!!!

The yard sale will begin at 10:00 a.m. and close at 3:00 p.m. Bring your own table and chairs and spend some time with your neighbors!

Hope to see you at any or all of these upcoming events! And ... we have a special trip being planned for either the last weekend of September or the first weekend of October ... more to come .... - Helen Kalbach, President
