Well we had a nice turnout for Mr. McEneny's talk. There is real interest out there in our group and we received many compliments on our website and transcription projects. Next....we will set up a table of informaton during the Troy Victorian Stroll on 12/6/08. This is an annual event in Troy that brings thousands of people into the city to stroll and inform themselves of Troy's wonderful history including the people, architecture and organizations. I have been informed that we can set up at Troy City Hall. NOW for the interesting part. We are looking for members to come to the stroll, volunteer to man the table and to dress for the occasion. Any member who would enjoy dressing as though they lived in the Victorian era. If you have been to the stroll you will remember men in tophats and women in long dresses, capes and of course lovely hats. You can make, rent or borrow clothing. I did find a website,http://www.recollections.biz/ that has a variety of clothing from $50 and up to whatever you want to spend. You will need to decide soon as it takes about 4 weeks to get your order. You can be an Irish Housekeeper or a person of influence, whichever you prefer. Please consider this as it will highlight our group as well as be fun......Let me know so we have an idea of how many members we will have.....Kris **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
