Sandy McNiece, president of the RTHS, established a nominating committee
consisting of himself, Susan McKellar and Bill Tupper. The
committee is asking members to consider either
accepting a position or nominating a candidate to fill vacancies on the
Executive Committee.
Request to Members Looking for RTHS members to give presentations at the May 20, 2020 monthly meeting. Each presentation would be 20 minutes in length. That’s a lot of 20s, I know that many of you have information to share with the rest of the members. Please let me know if you would like to participate.

Dickinson House
After another successful summer the Dickinson House has closed for the 2019 season.
We are all looking forward to the 2020 season, especially as the city has approved signifiicant renovations and restorations to the outside of the house.
If, as in previous years, there are extra events scheduled in the spring they will be announced on the web sites and in the newsletters.
