<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 3829162, member: 23&quot;]I was Vice President of the Orleans Historical Society until they decided to try and purchase a huge, expensive historic inn that we might have been able to buy with a donation from a benefactor, but in no way could we maintain.&nbsp; Heck, one of our Board members was paying a local guy $100 a month to mow in the summer and shovel in the winter.&nbsp; Local societies are usually shoestring operations.&nbsp; I left the Board, the sale didn&#039;t go through and now they call themselves CHO - Center for History and Culture in Orleans.&nbsp; (They apparently dropped the second C).&nbsp; They did finally spend the donation to do needed rehab to the old Meetinghouse and they had a second building down the hill that they&#039;ve raised up and put storage underneath so it&#039;s on the same level as the Meetinghouse and they&#039;ll have more space now.&nbsp; I&#039;m next town over from Marie.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also maintain membership in my home town Historical Society, the New Hampshire one and the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth because my friend works there and talked me into it.&nbsp; They are the most active on the Cape.&nbsp; They have events and operate two properties and they do trips to different places in the summer.&nbsp; They have an annual dinner with good speakers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
