The Chestnut Hill Historical Society is pleased to announce its slate of board and Officer nominees.  Returning board members include Carolyn Adams, Ann Csink, Karren DeSeve, Lawrence D. McEwen, Mathew Millan, Mary (Beth) Ounsworth and Meredith Sonderskov.  The Historical Society is also honored to welcome Walter J.

Joining them in standing for first-time election are Martha Agate, Dick Brown, Monika Hemmers, Dennis F. Meyers, and Anthony P. Sorrentino. Running for officer positions in the Historical Society are Frank Niepold, President; Kim Yetter, Treasurer; Carolyn Adams, Secretary; C. Nancy Evans, Vice-President of Programs and Community Outreach; Patricia Marian Cove, Vice-President of Preservation; and Randy Williams, Vice-President of Easements. Members in good standing may also nominate additional Directors with a nominating petition signed by 10% of Historical Society members and submitted on or before Monday, September 26.  The nomination slate of Board of Directors will be voted on at the Historical Society’s Annual Meeting and Lecture on Sunday, October 16, from 4 to 6 pm at the Chestnut Hill Academy, 500 West Willow Grove Avenue. After the business meeting, Carol Franklin will talk on “The Architecture of the Wissahickon Style.”  Dr. Franklin is co-author with David Contosta of Metropolitan Paradise, The Struggle of for Nature in the City.  Light refreshments and a book signing will follow. Both the Annual Meeting and the lecture are free and open to the public.  For any questions regarding the nomination slate or other matters, please contact Executive Director Jennifer S. Hawk at 215-247-0417, ext. 201 or at jhawk@chhist.org.
