Our Fall General Membership Meeting will be Saturday, October 19, 2025. Please note the change in location. We will meet at the Tolland Public Library, also on the Tolland Green. The address is 21 Tolland Green. We will also ZOOM- please click here for the information. The general membership meeting is at 1:00, with our speaker, Charlie Gargiulo, following that at approximately 1:45.
Mr. Gargiulo will share his memoir, "Legends of Little Canada". This includes a little history and his own personal experience with Lowell's Little Canada community. He will tell of living through its final days as a young person when the faceless force of "urban renewal" invaded and literally wiped the 80 year old French-Canadian/Franco-American neighborhood off the map. Join us as Mr. Gargiulo shares what happened in Lowell, Massachusetts to the French-Canadians.

Come join us and enjoy the company of new friends! This a very affordable opportunity to learn more about the history of our French-Canadian ancestors and the mill work that so many came to the states for. We'll enjoy a docent led private tour of the museum and exhibits, rich with anecdotal stories.
Following the tour, we will have lunch (Dutch Treat) at the Willimantic Brewery. It is located in an historic granite and limestone 1909 U.S. Post Office Building, and the Brewery has retained much of that decor.
Be sure to RSVP; lunch is optional, but we hope you'll join us! Click here for details.
