From Ethan Allen Homestead:

Masonry has always been a presence in the Green Mountain State. From the first settlers to the present, Vermont Masons have made a difference in their communities. Ira Allen, Thomas Chittenden, and other Vermont founders were members of this fraternity. Join Robert Grandchamp, historian and past Master of Mt. Mansfield Lodge #26 for a riveting talk on this fascinating subject and how Masonry helped shape the early history of the Green Mountain State.

From Ohavi Zedek Synagogue:

Henrietta Szold was one of the most important Jewish leaders of the 20th century. Her long life, from 1860 to 1945, spanned some of the most turbulent years in modern history. The events of that time shaped the lives of millions of people and are woven into the fabric of Szold’s life story.

Long-time OZ member Linda Kopper, who serves as President of Hadassah Vermont, will explore the “two lives” of Henrietta Szold, and discuss how her legacy lives on today.
