SUMMARY:WMGS October Monthly Meeting & Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:John Putnam will be joining us again at our October 7th meeting for an intriguing\npresentation: “The Salem Witchcraft Hysteria: A Cauldron of Religious\, Economic\, Social\, and Political Ingredients Gone Awry.”\nAs a descendant of both the protagonists and antagonists of those involved in the\nSalem witchcraft trials\, the historical story of this event becomes a genealogical\nstory for John as well. His direct Putnam ancestors were involved in most aspects\nof the witchcraft hysteria that occurred in his ancestral hometown of Salem Village\n(now Danvers\, MA). John will share many genealogical\, historical\, religious\,\nsocial\, economic\, and political factors that led to and followed the horrific events\nin 1692. Whether you have Salem ancestry or not\, witchcraft hysteria affected\nmany of our ancestors in countries around the world.\nThis is the second in a series of lectures on New England genealogy that John will be presenting to WMGS. \nAnnual Meeting\nSince there is no end in sight to our quarantine\, the Board has decided to proceed\nwith an abbreviated Annual Meeting which will be held virtually via Zoom.\nFollowing our speaker’s presentation on October 7th\, we will hold the Annual\nMeeting. The agenda will include a budget report by the Treasurer\, discussion and\nvote on proposed Bylaws revisions\, and an election of a vice-president\, secretary\,\nassistant treasurer and one director. A Nominating Committee has been appointed\nand they will present a slate of candidates at the meeting. Nominations will also be\naccepted from the floor.
