Calling on all CT-AMC Members!
Our Chapter will celebrate its centennial in 2021, and we hope to publish a Chapter history for the occasion. In 1957, and again on our 75th anniversary in 1996, the Chapter published booklets which recount some of our Chapter’s past. Both booklets are very valuable, but our hope for our 100th anniversary is not merely to fill in the years since 1996 with a next partial “history.” If we can muster the interest and the commitment, and the talent, we can build upon previous work and achieve a comprehensive story. To pull this off, we need to take action in 2019.
All members interested in participating in this project in any way, and to whatever extent, are encouraged to contact our Chapter Secretary Martha Cain or me. We need members with such interests as conducting interviews; gathering written records and photos; writing; editing; and publishing. We need members who can commit much time and members who cannot. Once we have assembled a group, we’ll get organized, and we’ll get going.
If you think you may be interested, don’t hesitate. Please take a chance on the side of pitching in. Write to: or . There will be a gathering of members who wish to participate in this project and/or to contribute their recollections and materials at our Annual Gathering, November 17th, during the Social Hour.
We very much want our longtime members to have the opportunity to share their recollections, and to tell us what they hope to see included in a final product. The broad plan at this time is to call upon each activity Committee to rough out its own story, to gather memorabilia and photos pertinent to that story, and to submit its product in early October 2020. We will seek input and materials from our older members, and information on our Chapter’s involvement in AMC institutions as Fall Hiking Week and August Camp. We’ll also be looking through AMC archives, now located at the Highland Center
