Salem History Society September Meeting, and RSVP by 9/12/08 to A Special Invite

September Meeting, and RSVP by  9/12/08 to A Special Invite
AN IMPORTANT SEPTEMBER MEETING

Our first Salem History Society program and meeting for the Fall
semester will be held
at Cornerstone Books on Sept. 9, 2008,
from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
It promises to be an important meeting
on several counts.

Have you ever wondered
just what specific tasks fall to all the
individual groups and organizations
involved in the many ways, we, as
a community, honor Salem's history?

Come to the September meeting, (TONIGHT!)
and let's explore a bit of that together
as we continue our Society's inquiry into and appreciation of
the historical resources of our city and region.

Our guests Sept. 9 will be
the chair of the Salem Historical
Commission, Hannah Diozzi,
and the president of Historic Salem, Inc., Julie Rose.

Both have been longtime champions
of Salem's history and
historic treasures,
with important and distinguished service
to Salem
to their credit.

Their respective organizations have long been in the
vanguard of efforts to preserve and protect Salem's historic culture.

They will be leading a conversation about the service their
organizations provide in fulfillment of their respective missions.

All are welcome to attend, both current and potential members of SHS
alike.

MEMBERSHIP UPDATES
Also at the September meeting, we will be discussing some new services
the Salem History Society will provide its members; including proposed
new ways to get research help; a restructured meeting format,
including a new start time (7:30 p.m.); an overall heightened emphasis
on active membership participation in each of our meetings and
discussions; and other proposed new perks of your membership in SHS.
