A Great Organization......

The Center for Humans and Nature recently invited me to write a commentary to the topic question, How can zoos and aquariums foster cultures of care and conservation?

I was delighted to do this and hope that you will both read my comment and get to know this organization - - - - and subscribe.  While you may not always agree with some of the published opinions and comments, they raise some of the most important conservation and nature related questions that need to be considered and discussed. 

I hope you will visit the Center for Humans and Nature at add it to your list of organization from which you want to receive articles.

The March 15 luncheon meeting had Stadium Systems manager Wendy Eichmann displaying possibilities for new SRC garb for members, hats, shirts, etc. with our Salisbury Rotary logo embroidered.





Following her was the feature presentation about SOAR, by board president Keith Marks and program director, Weezie Fallon. SOAR (Seek, Originate, Aim, Reach), was founded and funded 15-years ago as a local not-for-profit by Zenas Block and his family to provide after school enrichment programs for Salisbury Central School students. There are currently 14 after-school programs being offered.

Mark Scarbrough: Things That Go Bump In The Book: The Ghost Stories of Henry James and
Edith Wharton
While dozens of writers in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century made careers out of writing
about spooky goings-on, few took the craft to such heights--or perhaps depths-as friends and fellow writers
James and Wharton.  Scarbrough leads attendees through readings and discussions of these scary short 
stories from the long course of their careers, stories that explore the supernatural, the unexplained, and the
just plain bizarre. From an age that birthed Edwardian guilt, Freudian analysis, and a host of novel religious 
ff-shoots from Christianity, things are bound to be not what they seem. Or perhaps exactly what they seem.

Era of Elegance: The Wallpaper Remains: The Rise, Fall and Preservation of Elegance in 
the Phelps-Hatheway House, Suffield,  presented by Lynn Mervosh, Connecticut Landmarks. 
The later years of the 18th century ushered in a period of elegance in Connecticut that seemed to 
openly contradict the ravages left by the War of Independence.  The Phelps Hatheway House in 
Suffield, CT offers evidence of this significant rise in both prominence and consciousness of the
individual that would long endure. A close examination of the family history, architecture and 
decoration of this property tells a magnificent but nonetheless tragic tale of two families set during
the time of our country's great emergence.

Dr. Mervosh is the first guide and site administrator for this exquisite property.  She holds a PhD 
in19th century European literature from the University of Pennsylvania and has worked at the 
Sterling Memorial and Beinecke Libraries at Yale and at the Wadsworth Atheneum.  In her free
time, she loves to bake and garden, both at the Hatheway House and at her much smaller home down the street.
Meets at Salisbury Town Hall
