Thanks for a great day. 

It worked for one reason: You were committed enough to your society and your community that you chose to spend a beautiful Saturday indoors sharing your ideas and learning from others throughout New England.

And while everyone gave up their Saturday, a special thanks to those who had to travel quite a distance--some driving for two hours or more each way--to attend.

Judging by the evaluation forms, there were no regrets.  Everyone answered "Yes," to question, "If you had it to do over again, would you still attend?

Although we at the Marlborough Historical Society have no plans to repeat this event, we will be happy to work with someone else who wishes to.

As a way to continue to share ideas and information without the long drive, there's the online resource wiki.  Please contribute information from your presentation or additional information that you wish to share. There you will also find additional information on those topics that were listed as "most useful" and those about which you would have "liked to learn more."

Thanks to all who came and all who spoke, and to my colleagues on the Marlborough Historical Society board, especially Janet, the president, and Bob, a fellow trustee, who helped pull all of this together, from invitations to the facility, food, and feedback along the way.
