N-AHS Update

It’s been a while since we have posted, so here’s an update.

We were happy to be able to continue with the Winter Lecture Series this year after the 2020 series was curtailed.  Many came out to the Community Center to enjoy the four lectures.  In case you missed one or more, we have provided recordings on our Video page to add access for you during these Covid times.

Thanks to all of the members who sent in proxy votes for the annual meeting/election.  The total was far beyond the number required and we are happy that so many participated.  All of the nominees were elected, and you can see the list in the Administration page.

The museum is still open in a safe and secure way.  We have visitors every Saturday, and they enjoy the opportunity.  Events are being planned for the summer,  including the return of the Strawberry Social.  We will keep you informed of developments  as the date approaches.

 

Proxy Election of Board Members on April 22nd

We will be holding our Annual meeting and Election of Board Members by proxy again this year.  While we see encouraging signs with the pace and efficacy of vaccinations, there is still too much uncertainty to hold a mass event just yet.

Chris Davis will act as your proxy for both attendance and voting purposes.

The proxy form and instructions can be found in the current newsletter, or by clicking this link:  2021-Proxy-Form  You must be a current member to vote.

We are hoping for good participation.  Forms can be mailed (120 High St) or dropped in the mail slot at the museum.  They must arrive by April 21, 2020.

Michael Keene next YouTube Video is April 1st

Michael Keene, frequent speaker at many New York libraries and museums and producer of several award-winning history programs, has announced his latest offering, “The Psychic Highway”, scheduled for viewing on YouTube Premier, Thurs. April 1st, 2021, at 11:00 a.m.

It delivered people to important places for important reasons, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Seneca Falls for history’s first women’s convention, to Rochester to meet and support abolitionists Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman, to witness the Fox Sisters summon spirits, or maybe people on the temperance bandwagon hurrying to the Burned Over District so Charles Finney could save their souls.

The Psychic Highway intertwines the origins of the Erie Canal with the historical, religious, and social issues of the day.

The program is free but registration is required at michaeltkeene.com/registration
