A Message from Pauline R. Kezer, President, The Alden Kindred of America, Inc. s we sail from this year 2018/19 into 2020 we face many opportunities and challenges. A1) Can we harness the energy created by the 400th Anniversary of the Landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims in 2020 to protect and preserve our Alden Historic Sites in perpetuity? 2) Can we increase our historic footprint and create the Alden Center for Living History by enlarging our current Alden Barn? 3) Can we increase our membership base and its financial support for the Kindred to the point where we can create a designated fund for the Alden House and First Site? 4) Can we build the capacity needed to use 2020 as a launching pad to advance and secure the Kindred’s assets and presence for the next half century? Yes, this has been a year of questions, discussions, planning, and progress as we inch forward to begin a Capital Cam- paign, hopefully in 2020. We are sharing our vision for enlarging our space, our programs, and our outreach. It will take ALL of us to make this happen. WE are ready to begin in earnest. The big question is…. “ARE YOU?” What needs to happen within the next six months is to get a large handful of “lead” donations so that we will be able to announce a full- blown Capital Campaign by the next Alden Reunion. The total needed for the Campaign is just under $3 million. It is by far the largest undertaking by the Alden Kindred EVER! It means that we should raise $1 million before we launch the campaign. Is this possible? We have been doing our homework, looking at external resources, grants, etc., and yes, assessing the giving ability of our “Aldens”. We believe it is possible. DO YOU? The Aldens need to be the “first donors” to step up. To date we have a little more than $100,000 given and pledged. “We have a long way to go and a short time to get there.” I challenge every Alden Kindred Member and any Alden kin to seri- ously consider what their gifts collectively could do to preserve, protect, and grow our National Historic Landmark. I think of John and Priscilla Alden. Thankfully, they were strong enough to raise ten children in a tiny home in a strange new land. Priscilla was strong enough to be their teacher and nurturer. John was strong enough to become a leader in the Colony for over 65 years, create a successful fur trade to pay off the debt of the Mayflower Voyage, and manage a farm and 100+ acres. Together, they were strong enough to produce over a million Alden kin. They produced artists, industrialists, poets, US Presidents, Technology Leaders, and YOU! YOU are part of an incredible gene pool, and each one of us has the capacity to help in some way, Dear Alden Kindred Members and Friends, By next spring, we will determine the size of a full campaign and hopefully launch it at the Annual meeting. Our busy and productive year at the Alden Historic Sites is 2019at some level, to ensure that our story is forever told and accurately remembered! celebrated by saying thank you to our hard-working staff and Ideally, we would like to raise $3.5 million to: our members who have financially supported our mission ◆ Create a Preservation Fund ($1m) for our house and through membership dues and additional contributions!

We have been asked to be members, foundations, corporate support, legacies, and $1.2 million for the Alden Center for Living History the 2020 Visitors center for the Town of Duxbury. We are major gifts. It is a big undertaking, but we are approaching pleased to say “yes”, fully realizing that it means we must be it with the energy, perseverance, and determination that open year -round, increase our footprint to accommodate John and Priscilla Alden used to create this country and an onslaught of visitors, enhance our programs of living their lasting legacy. Grit and passion for our heritage will history, and have the house and grounds fully functional. lead the way. I invite all of you to join this journey that began 400 years ago. Toward that end, the Board has gone through a lengthy process to analyze where we are and where we want to be. Using a Harvard University model of “Getting from No Longer …. to Not Yet”, we have taken a serious look at our VALUE as a National Historic Landmark, our SUPPORT now and how it can grow, and our CAPACITY to handle 2020 needs and beyond. These three tenants make up the legs of our stool, and all must be equally sturdy to support “Thanks to the purchase of the property and the critical planning our Kindred. Since then, a small vision taskforce was formed to determine how we move forward. Thanks to Alden Keyser (Chair), John W.

The results were positive. All feel that2020 , with the Alden House Historic Site playing a key role, is exciting and a catalyst for action. The respondents unanimously supported the Preservation of our historic assets, especially the House. Sincerely, Keeping the history of the Aldens and other Pilgrims alive and accurate was very important. Genealogy, tracing our heritages, had strong support as well. 2 Alden Kindred of America 2018 - 2019 Annual Report Therefore, the Board of Directors at its June2018 meeting voted unanimously to take the next giant step towards a Capital Campaign and enter into a “Quiet Phase” where we will seek Pauline Ryder Kezer out Kindred members and ask for their financial support.

Recovering a Romantic Realist 1 Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford often responded to the requests of many editors to anonymously contribute stories to Boston “family” story-papers in the late fifties, well aware that it was not “her first inclination to write in a hasty, commercial manner” (Salmonson xviii). Few of those stories bore her name and, in producing them, she apparently seemed to follow Henry James’s patronizing advice to abandon “the ideal descriptive style” and “study the canon of the so-called realist school,” because “the public taste [had] changed” (James, “rev. of Harriet Prescott Spofford,” 269, 272).

  • Am AMERICAN HERITAGE
    AMERICANAm HERITAGE DAY DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much, and look for spiritual applications that can be learned from the person’s life.

The Boston Breakers find themselves right in the mix. The longest-running professional women’s soccer team in U.S. history, the Breakers have roots dating back more than a decade. The franchise was established in 2000, debuting in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) in 2001. The Breakers competed for three seasons in WUSA before the league folded. When Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) was formed in the fall of 2007, the Breakers joined the league and began play when WPS officially launched its first season in 2009. The Breakers played three seasons in WPS (2009-2011) before the league suspended operations in 2011. In their three WPS seasons, the Breakers reached the playoffs twice. In 2012, the Breakers played in the eight-team WPSL Elite League, which featured eight teams from the Midwest and up and down the East Coast. The Breakers won the regular season championship with an 11-3 record.
