Our October meeting was held at Minuteman National Park right within our cluster towns!  It was really nice to see so many of you there from both Melinda’s and Patti’s cluster on one of the first days of October.

We said farewell to two au pairs after their very successful years, greeted our many new au pairs, had a picnic, and heard one of very own au pairs play guitar, but there was even more!  We went inside to hear about the first days of the American Revolution that started right here!  We enjoyed a multi-media film narrated by Colonel Doolittle, a reenactment of the minuteman’s responses to the British, and a tour of the historic Hartwell Tavern, one of the places where colonists gathered.   This makes the Minutemen’s struggles towards their goal of independence that much more real for all of us. Many au pairs can now better understand why we have somany tourists arriving daily from all over the world!  They are coming to see where American freedom all began!
