Notes from the President

WELCOME TO 2010, a new decade for SHS! We are immediately starting out with two importantmilestones: the 200th anniversary of The Old Store and the 35th anniversary of SHS on Sept 1, 2010! Our success is due to the many volunteers who have supported our programs throughout the past 34 years and to everyone in Sherman and our surrounding communities who have participated in our fundraising activities. As wemove into 2010 and beyond, our Roger Sherman Cobbler Shop will play an important part in many SHS activities. One of the most rewarding events in 2009 was working with the Sherman School administration, faculty and students, who all enthusiastically support our Roger Sherman program. 2009 was truly a year of community involvement. I thank one and all for making the past 34 years so productive, and I look forward to 2010, and beyond, to continue this record of successful community events and involvement.

Please refer to the last page of this newsletter for an outline of our planned 2010 events.

Our annual Barn Sale on May 29 & 30 is a major fundraiser for 2010. Funds raised at the barn sale support major maintenance projects that are neverending. Last year we were able to restore the front of the old barn. This year we hope to do the same for the back of the old barn, complete the finishing touches on the Roger Sherman Cobbler Shop and help finance the move of our business offices and archives to their new space.

Thank you for all of your support in 2009! We look forward to seeing you this year browsing at the Barn Sale, shopping at the Old Store, or attending one of our Northrop House Museum programs. LizMard
