Notes of Gratitude:
After decades of invaluable work for NHS, Bill and Margie Weiler have stepped down from the board. The Board would like to express our deepest gratitude for their dedication and hard work for all these years and their immense contribution to the preservation of Newbury's history.
The Board is also sorry to be losing another major contributor to our mission, Paula Falkowski, who has moved out of the area. Paula served as Board Secretary and has been a very dedicated and active board member. She will be sorely missed and the Board thanks her for her significant contribution, her dedicated engagement, and her cheery spirit.
Board of Directors: Deane Geddes, Marilyn Geddes, Sally Harris, Judy LaPorte, John Lyons, Patricia Sherman, Barbara Steward
