Hope Historical Society's New Officers
At its annual meeting in October and its
November meeting, Hope
Historical settled on its new officers. The Society is proud to
announce that North Appleton genealogist Donovan Bowley will be its
new President. Donovan is from the South Hope Bowleys; old timers
will remember the many years that Maynard Bowley was a Selectman.
Bowley will continue his work with the Appleton Historical Society
and hopes the two societies will work together more. Closer
cooperation has been the intent of both societies for several years.
After all, until 1843, most of Appleton was part of Hope.
Webmaster Bob Appleby has become Vice President,
replacing the
long-serving Ann Leadbetter. Faith Hart will continue her key role
as Treasurer. Bill Jones will get back his old job as Secretary.
Committee assignments will continue as they were pending review.
