  • September 18 - 6:30 PM -- ANNUAL MEETING - COMMUNITY SUPPER (Bring a dish.)*

  • October - Harvest Fest with MHS Art Show, Art Show Reception and booth

  • December - Christmas program with skit at Jones Hall

ALL MEETINGS HELD AT CHAPEL UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED

* In view of the fact that we do not feel ready for the full dramatic production called for in a Cemetery Walk as described in the Concord workshop Loisanne attended, we decided to compromise and invite three eighteenth century Marlow people to appear and mingle with the guests at our September Community Supper. We will ask Adam Plumb to appear as his ancestor and early Marlow settler, Aaron Huntley. We think Bruce McWilliams of Concord would do a fine job as our first settler, Solomon Mack from whom McWilliams descended. We also think Clay Bradley would do well as Ebenezer Beckwith, Marlow’s first paid Baptist minister. We need a woman represented. Perhaps someone would enjoy being Hepzibah Tubbs, ancestor of our own John Salo.
