Highlights of the 2004 Annual Meeting
& Washington Birthday Dinner

The Chapter, held its Annual Meeting and Washington's Birthday Dinner, at the Century House in Latham on February 21st, with 35 members and guests in attendance.

Chapter President Duane Booth asked members to come out and support the 11th Annual March 4 Parks. This event, which is sponsored by the Friends of the Saratoga Battlefield and the Saratoga National Historical Park (SNHP), will be held at the Schuyler House on April 24th between 10 am and 2 pm. While the idea is to get people to sponsor you for walking in the March, that is not mandatory. The goal is to raise money so programs at the SNHP can be continued. It is a fun time, with silent auctions, ice cream, music and a chance to enjoy a spring day with friends and family while supporting a worthwhile event with a donation.

Following dinner, Chapter President Duane Booth welcomed recently admitted members David Anthony Marsh of Troy and Joseph Insull Whittlesey, of Scotia and presented Joe with his membership certificate. Acting Chaplain Henry Goebel gave members and guests an update on Past President and Chaplain Peter K. Goebel who has been serving in Iraq.

Park Ranger Joe Craig of the Saratoga National Historical Park in Stillwater gave a presentation on the Saratoga Monument. Ranger Craig's presentation corrected many myths about the monument and provided a chronological list of events from the start of construction in 1877 through the recently completed renovation of the historic obelisk in 2002.
