Jim Bush will Speak on July 15th

We are excited and honored to have Jim Bush with us for a very special program on Thursday, July 15th, at 7:00 p.m.  The program will be held on the grounds of the Newark-Arcadia Museum (east side).

Chairs will be available and you can also bring your own lawn chair.  Masks are optional, and you should act according to your own vulnerability.  We have masks available.

Jim is a member of the N-AHS. He has recently published a book, “A Voice from Nowhere and Other Stories from a Small-town Mind”.  Jim is quite a humorist.  Also a magician, he will include some magic in the evening’s presentation.

While Jim’s book is available on Amazon, he is donating a case of them to the N-AHS, with copies available for sale and signing at his program.

 

You can reserve a seat by calling 315-331-6409 or by using the contact form.  Reservations are not necessary to attend, as long as space is available.

Safety Plan Updated for the Museum

Masks are now optional in the Museum for fully vaccinated individuals.  Further details are provided within the attached safety plan.

If you have not been vaccinated or if you are immune-compromised, it is in everyone’s best interest for you to wear a mask inside the museum.  The stronger Covid variants circulating can wreak havoc with your life should you become infected.

If you fall into this category let the docents know.  They can don masks for your protection while you are visiting if you so desire.

We still sanitize our surroundings, and our ventilation system provides a better air quality.  We want to make your visit as comfortable as possible.  Please inform us of any concerns you may have.

Strawberry Social This Saturday, Noon to 3:00

Summer’s here, and with it comes the 26th Annual Strawberry Social.  Mark the date, June 26th from Noon to 3 PM at the museum on High St.  Social regulars know what an enjoyable time this is.  You get to enjoy a dish of strawberries, shortcake and ice cream with friends and neighbors on a nice summer’s day.  You can even get a takeout tray if you’re on the run.  But if you decide to linger, Fred Burgess and Jim Shear, aka The Loose Marbles, will be playing familiar songs on their acoustic guitars.

If you just want to stop by to enjoy the music and the museum, there’s no charge.  But while you’re here, you owe it to yourself to get the strawberry shortcake ($5.00 – $2.00 for children under 12).  You see, the Burnap’s in Sodus supplies our strawberries, Bee Tee’s donates the ice cream, and several of your fellow members have volunteered to make the shortcakes.  So most of your money will go to help fund Historical Society operations, and you get to enjoy strawberries in season!  How can you lose?

Hope to see you on the 26th.
