Noted historian John Cullity was the guest speaker and all enjoyed his
presentation on Scorton Creek's 18th century shipbuilding industry.
After, the board of directors provided an overview of FOSTA's 2024 finances, accomplishments, and how the annual election process works. Cider and fresh donuts rounded out an enjoyable evening.
Special thanks to those who expressed interest in joining the board, we look forward to working together to help preserve and protect the town's historic assets.
It's in the books!
