A message from our President
Dear members of the Hollis Historical Society
First of all, I'd like to wish you all a very happy New year on behalf of your Board! We hope that you and your families enjoyed a wonderful holiday season.
I would like to bring to your attention that our society brochure looks slightly different this year and is arriving later then usual. This time we are only highlighting the three Spring programs, because the mailing to you in February after two successful Fall programs that have already taken place. The reason for our late mailing is that we were unable to confirm one of our three Spring programs until recently.
We are pleased to be able to give you a preview of each of our Spring programs in our brochure. We are excited about all three, and we are sure that you will enjoy each of them. On March 25th, we will offer you school stories from the Farely Building that represent several generations as told by former Hollis High School students. On April 15th, we have invited Secretary of State, William Gardner, to share with us some stories and historical insights and highlights about New Hampshire's important role on the national political stage as the state which holds the first presidential primary. And on May 20, at our annual meeting, we will offer a program, sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council, entitled "Your Hit Parade," a musical review of popular music from "the old days."
The Board has decided to postpone the exterior painting of the Wheeler House until this Spring, when our financial picture will be a little clearer and more positive. By the way, the next time that you visit the Wheeler House, please notice that the front porch has a new coat of paint and the stairs to the second floor have been sanded and treated to several coats of polyurethane. I hope to see you March25th, when we swap stories about life in the Farely Building.
Sincerely Yours,
Dick Lates, President
