 The John O'Hara Society Annual General Meeting will be held Saturday, 30 January, at the Nassau Inn in Princeton, New Jersey. Pals will meet at 12:30 PM for drinks, and later for lunch at the Inn. Settlement of bills will be an individual matter. There will no formal programme. The AGM will honour the 105th birthday of the Master, born 31 January 1905 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The meeting is open to one and all, though only paid-up members will be able to raise business issues and vote on these matters. Discussion regarding new premiums is welcome. So are paid membership applications. After the lunch, members might want to explore the Master's adopted hometown, including the Nassau Club, his gravesite, his former house, and the like. If anyone has O'Hara ephemera, books, and the like that they wish to give away or sell, that's welcome too. A RSVP to Richard Carreno at JohnOHaraSoc@yahoo.com is requested. But not required. There's frequent train service from Philadelphia and New York to Princeton. Questions, suggestions to Richard at 267|253|1086. |
