REFLECTIONS 2016
     A late summer evening, complete with harvest moon, was the backdrop for a marvelous event--REFLECTIONS 2016--and the opening of the Lauridsen House now the site of the Maude Swift Gallery and the New London Historical Village Welcome Center.
     Friends, members and supporters of the Historical Society gathered for this splendid evening joined by the families of Bud Lauridsen (namesake of the building) and Dr. Anna Littlefield (exhibit artist).
     Great thanks are owed to many including local business sponsors: Bonin Architects, Harrington Jewelers, Morgan Hill Bookstore, Spring Ledge Farm, Judy Davis Antiques, and Tatewell Gallery.
     Very generous monetary support for the building renovations came from Deborah Coffin, Pete and Heidi Lauridsen, Robert and Lynne Bell, Bill and Jeanine Berger, The Sheri Ensign Family Trust, John and Maggie Ford, Susan W. King, Patricia McGoldrick, Roger Smith and Martha Regan-Smith.
     And, last, but certainly not least, we are grateful to the many volunteers who helped during the evolution of the Lauridsen House, Welcome Center, and MS Gallery.
     Thank you Jeremy Bonin, Maggie Ford and all the event volunteers including chair David Royle, Lynn Bell, Jeanine Berger, Steve Ensign, Sue King, , Pete and Heidi Lauridsen, and Laurie Lauridsen.
