Events Schedule

Each season of the year the Society holds a social event in the Greater Philadelphia area. In January we hold our Annual Meeting at one of the clubs and present our national “Katharine F. Little Distinguished Mayflower Scholarship Award” to a non-member.  A Spring "Tea" is held at one of the historic homes in May. The summer picnic is held in August. In the November we honor the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors and SMDPA members of whose passing we were advised during the past year at an historic church. The service is followed by a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at a nearby restaurant at which time we honor one of our own members with our “John Mortimer Hunt, Jr. Distinguished Pilgrim Award.” Our two Colonies which are located in the greater Harrisburg and Pittsburgh areas (the latter having absorbed the former Erie Colony) also schedule dinner meetings accompanied by educational programs for their members.

SMDPA News

(12Apr2009) Some time ago, the SMDPA Board was shown the original membership ledger. It was in bad condition although it had previously been restored. It was judged that no further treatment would be possible. The book was fragile, and further routine handling of it was not suggested. It was determined that it had to be copied, preserved and the data put in a readily accessible form.
