PAST MEETINGS

Spring 2008:  We enjoyed a lovely luncheon at Scioto Country Club.  The after-lunch presentation focused on  archiving old photographs into a photobook.

Members voted to increase our annual dues to $10 and re-elected the current officers for another 2 year term.  

Fall 2008:  Our luncheon featured Mr.Herman Rueger a former historical interpreter at Jamestowne.  Mr. Rueger wore his indentured servant costume and regaled us with tales of adventures and misadventures during his lengthy experience as an interpreter in Jamestowne, Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg.

Spring 2009: Our speaker was Dr. Alan Gallay, who holds the Warren R. Woodring Chair in the Department of History at Ohio State University.  He has published numerous scholarly books and articles about colonial America.  His topic: "Before Jamestown:  The Origins of English Colonization of Virginia."
