“When I met Carol, I was looking for a co-host for the Silver City Meetinghouse. What I got was so much more.” - Barry Sanders

It is with great sadness we share that long-time co-host of the Siver City Meetinghouse and State Representative Carol Doherty has died.

For nearly 17 years, Carol and Barry lead “an informed and civil discussion about today’s big issues.”

Together, they introduced the community to candidates for office, students, artists, community leaders and local experts.

More importantly, Carol and Barry were great friends who were often seen together at community events and supporting one another in their political and community work.
