NEWSLETTER – SEPTEMBER 2024
Facebook: The mission of MHHA is to keep the history of our town alive in the eyes of the public. Over the twenty-seven years of our existence, we have hosted heritage awards dinners, participated in local events, developed a website, published “Porcupine” and even produced a movie “`Music: the Official Language of Morin Heights`. When Mike Tott joined our Board of Directors it was an opportunity to utilize his promotional expertise to increase and improve public awareness of our activities. Working with Brigitte Simon, our Facebook administrator, they will produce regular postings on our Facebook page. We have over 1400 group members on our page and it has been an excellent forum for information and old photo publishing by interested parties. Now we will be using it to promote awareness of our activities and interesting little-known facts of the history of our area. Check it out by using the link below and join the group to get in on the fun. https://www.facebook.com/groups/772748619452006
Featured Article: Once every quarter, we publish an article from a past issue of “Porcupine” on our website under “featured article”. Use the link below to access the most recent posting “The Story of Bellevue Community Centre”. There are many other great articles on that page on a variety of interesting subjects. https://morinheightshistory.org/category/featured-articles/
UPCOMING EVENTS THIS AUTUMN
Les Journée de la Culture: On Sunday, September 29 at Chalet Bellevue, we will present a display of photos of community events held over the past few decades. You may recognize yourself in days past, your parents or even your grandparents. It’s always fun to view old photos and we have a great collection! The display will be open from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. We hope to see you there.
The Mayor’s Heritage Awards Dinner: This year’s dinner will be held at the Chalet Bellevue on Saturday, November 23. Tickets will be on sale through the town website in October. More details will be available soon and will be published separately. It’s a great event featuring a fine dinner, silent auction, the presentation of the awards and good fellowship.
