On Saturday Nov 15 the Burlington Historical Society hosted its Annual Members Meeting at the Elton Tavern. President Stacey Glastris and BHS board of directors had the honor of recognizing board member Barbara Flaherty-Carcedi and her husband Jerry Carcedi for their many years of service to BHS. They were presented with a town proclamation, a state proclamation and a wonderful photo of them dressed in their historic outfits. Anyone who has visited the Elton Tavern on one of our open houses, Tavern Day, school field trips, etc. or taken a tour of the building was more than likely greeted by both Barbara and Jerry. As they step away from the organization, they leave some large shoes to fill but we thank them for their unwavering dedication and wish them all the best!

Thanks to our membership and donation drives, we are going forward with a minor kitchen project. We will be installing additional cabinetry and a dishwasher to make event cleanup even easier.
