President’s Letter

WHERE did 2025 go? I can’t believe it has been 3 months since I updated this page!

2026 began on 3 January with an excellent presentation by Rebecca Bromley, who spoke about life in 17th‑century Maryland. She explained the different ways settlers arrived in the American colonies—not only as free individuals seeking opportunity, but also as indentured servants who agreed to work for five to seven years in exchange for passage from England. Rebecca described how advertisements were placed in European newspapers to attract potential settlers to the New World. She also shared insights into their daily lives, including household items, religious practices, and the layout of the region, supported by maps from the period.

Our vice president, Janet Dagley, has enthusiastically taken over the job of programming for the Society and has speakers engaged for the balance of the 2025-2026 season. You can view the topics on the “Events” tab. Regardless of the topic, it has been my experience throughout my 20 years of research that one always learns something new through each presentation.

We hope that you will join us at our temporary meeting location at the Mizell Center at 480 S. Sunrise Way, in Palm Springs. The meeting begins at 10:00 a.m. the first Saturday of each month.

Please, come join us!
