Lewes Historical Society sets annual meeting Feb. 23
The 2019 Lewes Historical Society Annual Meeting will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 23, in the Margaret H. Rollins Community Room at the Lewes History Museum.
Light refreshments will be served. In addition to the annual review and business, there will be a special behind-the-scenes look at some pieces from the society collection.
The slate for election is as follows:
Bernard J. Clark for an additional year as corporate secretary. Clark is a retired physician and physician administrator who has lived in Lewes since his retirement in 2012. He has been a member of the board of trustees since 2012. He has served as chair and is now a member of the finance committee, endowment committee, executive committee and corporate secretary.
Terri Lottmann for trustee. A third-generation native of Washington, D.C., Lottman relocated to Lewes in 1994 after a 20-year career in the dental industry. She and her husband founded Sun Up Enterprises, a business specializing in historic restoration, painting, antiques and collectibles. They restored their 19th century home, which was featured on the 2000 Lewes Historical Society Christmas Home Tour, and she was an active volunteer with LHS from 1994 to 2001.
In 2007, she began volunteering with the Archaeology Society of Delaware and joined the crew of Avery's Rest in Rehoboth, the site of the 17th century Colonial plantation of Capt. John Avery. She became the volunteer coordinator, served on the ASD Sussex County Chapter board for five years, and is now a lifetime member. Lottman spent 10 years in the field and lab, training under Dan Griffith and working with forensic anthropologist Dr. Doug Owsley of the Smithsonian Institute.
There will also be voting on revisions to the society’s by-laws. Changes to the organization of the Lewes Historical Society and to its operations have created the need to revise the society’s by-laws, last revised in 2016.
