Our “open to the community” Annual Meeting of the Alburgh Historical Society will be held on Thursday, July 14 at 7:00 in the Islands in The Sun Senior Center. We will have a very short business meeting (no elections are necessary this year), and then a speaker.

Mark Barie, a businessman and author from Champlain, New York, in collaboration with his wife, Christine Racine, has written several books on North Country topics. He will be speaking on border issues, such as the smuggling of Chinese nationals, which was a big industry, and also his new book, The Boat People of Champlain, about the boat building industry that existed long ago. They will have books for sale – all profits are donated to community organizations such as the Champlain Library. I have seen Mark present before, and I am looking forward to seeing him again.

Light refreshments will be served. Please come and bring your friends. Call Judy Higgins at (802) 238-4990 with questions.
