107th Annual Meeting

The Alden annual meeting on August 4th, 2007, was hot and sticky, but about 80 members and family enjoyed gathering for the 107th annual meeting at the Alden House in Duxbury. In addition to enjoying lunch and the opportunity to tour the Alden House, attendees participated in a silent auction and rug raffle (the raffle alone brought in $900 to help support the homestead). Later that evening some of the members also attended the second Speak for Thyself Award Dinner and Dance where awards were made to actress MaryAnn Leone Cooper (Sopranos, founder of the Jesse Cooper Foundation and AccesSportAmerica to bring the wild world of extreme sports to challened kids), Phyllis P. Godwin (Chairman and CEO of Granite City Electric Supply Company), and Elizabeth Nightingale (local Duxbury activist and advocate for handicapped children).
