Dear friends,

 

Over the course of the last few years, the Officers and Directors of the Methuen Historical Society have discussed our desire to revitalize and expand our organization. Although our community has a truly unique historical heritage, it's increasingly a challenge to motivate our friends and neighbors to become involved in its protection and preservation. This challenge is certainly not unique to Methuen.

 

As part of our planning for the future, the Board has decided to re-brand our organization with a new name and a fresh look for the future! Our hope is to present a more modern and inclusive vision for both current and prospective members. To that end, we are presenting 'Historic Methuen - Let's Make History Together!'

 

Our goal is to preserve all of the traditions of the Historical Society while focusing more attention on our goals for the Methuen Museum of History, and on building a more vibrant organization that protects and builds on our rich history.

 

In order to make these changes final, we need an affirmative vote of the members of the Historical Society. We are inviting you to join us on Thursday evening, October 19th at 6:30 PM at the Methuen Museum of History (the Tenney Gate House), 37 Pleasant Street, Methuen.

 

In addition to changing the name, these proposed bylaw amendments are intended to improve the operation of the organization for the future. To assist you in evaluating this proposal, we have prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions that we hope will be helpful.

 

Should you have any questions, please contact me at 978-683-2252.

The board and I hope to see you at our Annual Meeting on Thursday, October 19th. 

Maureen Pollard,
President
