Committees
General Programs
We host seven general programs each year. Each program features a guest speaker and focuses on a different topic spanning all eras of local history, from entertainment to literature to sports to the military. The current schedule of lectures and programs can be found on our monthly Programs page.
Special Events Tours
The UMHA Special Activities committee occasionally presents Bus Tours and Walking Tours that are interesting and fact-filled experiences. The tours are a regular part of the Association's schedule and are open to the public for a nominal fee to cover the cost of printed materials and bus rental. Check the current Programs schedule for upcoming tours.
A variety of local tours may also be arranged for special occasions such as student classes and groups of 20 or more. For group bus tours, the minimum required is 35 persons. If you want more information or are contemplating either type of tour for a group, please contact the Association 6 months ahead of your anticipated date.
Annual Dinner
This annual event began in 1998 and provides an occasion for members and friends to join together in a slightly formal setting, to enjoy an excellent dinner and conversation, and be entertained by an inspirational and educational speaker.
The dinner takes the place of a regular monthly public meeting and also includes our annual awards ceremony wherein we honor those who have shown particular dedication to preserving our local history. Invitations are sent to the membership a month prior to the dinner, and members are encouraged to bring family and friends. For more information about our past dinners, please visit the Annual Dinners page.
Annual Picnic
This annual affair as been an opportunity for members and friends to get together informally and to meet people representing other societies from surrounding communities. It is a come-when-you-can, leave-when-you-must outing.
As of 2009, the Association has decided to combine our Annual Picnic with the Boileau Festival in the Spring. We will continue to list the event among our regular schedule. For more information, please visit The Friends of Boileau.
