Annual Meeting and Early Commercial History of Williston Presentation

On Saturday, November 9 at 2:00 in the Community Room of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library, we will hold our Annual Meeting. We will be voting on one board position. Steve Shepard is running for a three-year position unopposed. We will also vote in the slate of officers for the coming term: Aron Merrill-President, Steve Perkins-Vice President, Cameron Clark-Secretary, Adriene Katz-Archivist, Terry Macaig/Jon Stokes -Treasurers, and Brenda Perkins-past president. Many thanks to all of these folks for their amazing behind the scenes work for our organization - along with a special shoutout to Dick Allen for all of his help with fielding questions and advice.

Following the short business meeting, we are pleased to announce that Dick Allen and Samantha Ford will be presenting a slide show of their research on the very early history of Williston, particularly the commercial aspects of sawmills, cloth dressing businesses, stores, and a distillery. The meeting is open to all who have an interest in Williston history.

We would like to give you an opportunity to purchase tickets online in advance for the upcoming screening of "Lost Nation" at Williston Central School Auditorium on October 5th at 7pm. A Question and Answer session will be led by Director Jay Craven following the movie. A full summary and description of this Vermont Revolutionary Era film is attached, along with suggested reading materials, and promotional poster. Please purchase your tickets early. 50% of proceeds will benefit the Williston Historical Society. 

Tickets are available in advance at https://www.catamountarts.org/show/details/lost-nation-williston/. Tickets are available at the door, subject to availability.

Thank you!
