There has been wild speculation around Allison's show.
I'm not going to publish any more about it.
Aurora Historical Society has a membership of over one hundred.
At the time they withdrew commitment to the Museum, the reason was small membership. 59
That shocked me.
Since then, I heard membership grew ..
There's a Board of 8 Directors .
And an executive committee.
Directors have regular meetings, organise events, work on the events and solicit support.
There's an annual membership meeting.
The function of the executive is not clear There may be five members
Maybe one of them can give us an outline of the structure nd how things function.
There's an employee business manager who also serves as curator of Hillary House.
Regular grant from the town is $50,000. Because of the Hillary House Sesquicentennial , this year the grant was double.
There is irony here. The house wasn't built in Aurora.
Historically speaking, a practice was to build on a lot outside the boundary to enjoy the amenity of making a living in the town and escape paying town taxes.
Obviously, there's much I do not know. .

I will not speculate about Our Town other than to congratulate Alison on the superb job she did as host. Whatever reasons are behind this loss to the town, I am absolutely positive that they were sound. We will miss the program.

O.K. But it is difficult to shut up when there is a large Blip on one's radar.
To 12:34...
ever thought of asking her yourself?
Jeez....
Didn't Chris Watts do a breakdown on the society's financial statement vis a vis what services they provide to the Town for said grant?
I understand your daughter is on the board, so perhaps she can enlighten.
