George Washington, Namesake of our Round Table


Our next meeting is Tuesday, September 15 at the Mount Vernon Inn. Please mark this date on your calendars. We will be sending out an e-invite the day after Labor Day. The speaker will be Paul Glenshaw, who will be speaking on the famous Washington's Crossing painting. Paul spoke to us earlier in the year on a Zoom only presentation on Trumbull's Declaration of Independence painting, which presentation was very well received.

Other dates this Fall for our meetings are more Tuesdays:  October 13 and November 10. Please also mark those dates into your calendars.

Do think about any family and friends you know who might be interested in joining us. The more attendees we have, the lower we can keep our fees.

Please let me know if you have any questions. And please support our ARRT so we can continue providing you with great programs!  This is particularly the case as we continue to celebrate 250th anniversaries of significant American Revolutionary War events.
