116 The 115th Alden Kindred of America Reunion and Annual Meeting was held on August 1, 2015. Members were registered and refreshments served to begin this beautiful day. The weather was warm and sunny which was a perfect setting for members to socialize before the meeting began.

Before a motion was made to accept the minutes of the 114th Annual Meeting, Mrs. George Bingham asked for a correc-tion to her late husband’s middle name from Walker to Walter.

A motion was made and 2nd to accept the minutes. The minutes of the 114th Annual Meeting were accepted unani-mously by the members present.

J. Alden Keyser presented the report of the Finance Committee. He reviewed the financial statement and the main areas of financial increase this past year. These included personnel, genealogy and the Speak for Thyself annual event. Invest-ments have been on the upswing due to the strength in the stock market and our donors’ generosity. Alden reported that the Kindred continues to be financially stable and thanked all members for their support. (refer to financial report 6/15).

115th Meeting Minutes

Page 4: AKA 2016 ANNUAL REPORT FINAL

Alicia emphasized the need to increase membership as well as to address the loss of members due to attrition. There is a need to clarify membership categories, and the bylaws need to be changed to address this issue. AKA needs to attract more members. The change in bylaw will address this.

Anyone can be a member of the AKA upon paying dues which would be $30 individual and $55 for family. Certified lineage members would pay an increased amount to research their family history. There are 3 categories of membership: 1. Annual Member 2. Life Member 3. Honorary Member (which is awarded).

A Certified Alden Lineage Descendant is a member who files documented lineage from John and Priscilla Alden that is approved by the Alden Kindred Genealogist.

A motion was made by Linda Osborne to ratify these changes to the bylaws regarding member-ship. The motion was 2nd by Alden Porter. The members present passed this motion unanimously. The amendments to the bylaws were ratified at this 115th Annual Meeting.

Pauline Kezer reiterated that the Alden Homestead is now a National Historic Landmark and that any person can be a member, despite lineage qualifications.

The Genealogy Report was presented by Alden Kindred Genealogist, Lilly Cleveland. Lilly reported that the Alden family tree has been placed on Ancestry’s Roots Web which is user friendly and a positive change. Technology is changing and social media is being explored. Facebook has been a positive way to involve the younger generation. Lilly reported there is a need for a high speed scanner for documents, and a need to get a college intern to assist with processing/scanning these documents. Lilly thanked Bonnie Conant for all her ongoing help with documentation assistance , and Alicia Crane Williams for her help and expertise in the important areas of genealogy. A motion was made and 2nd to accept this Genealogy Report. The Report was accepted unanimously by all members present.

Alicia Crane Williams expressed the need to increase funding for the work of the AKA genealogists. Alicia reiterated the need to fund the work to expand membership and improve the lineage system. She donated $5000 for this mission and challenged all AKA members to meet this challenge. This was gratefully received by the membership present.

Kristen Larson, Manager of Membership and Development, was introduced by Pauline Kezer. Kristen was hired 2/15 for this position. She related that she is an Alden descendant of Ruth. Kristen discussed the need to increase connections and expand visibility. She passed to the membership tables a packet to further explain the focus of her present work for the Alden Kindred. It included the areas of Development; Preservation; and Donations. Pauline thanked Kristen for her work and contributions to management. Pauline also thanked Kristen for all her help and her involvement in the Speak For Thyself Event this past May.

Pauline introduced Matt Vigneau, the Director of the Alden Kindred of America.

Matt related that the ongoing thrust remains to be growth of the organization and the continuing need to increase membership. The 20/20 celebration to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower in Plymouth will occur in the year 2020. This will be a big event that the AKA is preparing for and will require a huge effort on everyone’s part.

Matt talked about the new sign and logo that greets all visitors at the entrance of the Alden property. He thanked the John Williamson Trust for helping with this project.

Matt invited everyone to visit the new gift shop that has been revamped - and made more inviting to visitors of the Alden property.

Matt then introduced Janet LaBerge, past Speak for Thyself recipient and owner of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and the Good Deeds Thrift Shop. Janet had a day at her shop on 7/15 for collections which she donated to the Alden Kindred of America today. The total of her donation was $1000 and was gratefully received. Pauline discussed Janet’s other business, Dirty Deeds Done Cheap. This provides clean out help for many people with valued items being re-circulated to those in need.

Pauline Kezer, President of AKA, spoke of honor she felt to be in this position. She discussed the retreat held at the Episcopal Convent in Duxbury, Ma. in September 2014. This was a valued experi-ence to develop a strategic plan and a mission statement for the Alden Kindred of America.

Pauline discussed core areas that are relevant to the AKA in moving forward. These included: strengthening monetary resources; increasing membership; governing strategically; increasing communication; providing staff; increasing volunteers.

There was a review of this year’s Speak for Thyself Event. It was held at a new venue this year on Duxbury Bay. It was a very successful, enjoyable event for everyone that attended.

Also discussed was the Preservation Grant for $7000 to evaluate the structure of the Alden House. It was reported that some work needs to be done to windows and sills, but the house is generally in good condition. Pauline praised the new sign and logo on the Alden Property and its necessity to encourage new visitors.

Pauline presented news and information to the members about the property adjacent to the Alden Property. This originally belonged to the Aldens in 1627 and is presently up for sale. The asking price is $700,000. It includes 2 houses and 2.7 acres of land. This was a missed opportunity 15 years ago to purchase this property.

Mrs. Bingham, widow of the late George Bingham, immediately donated $5000 and called this a ‘no brainer’ - and offered a challenge. If others will donate a total of $50,000, she would donate another $5000. Alden Keyser donated $5000. By days end, $15,000 had already been donated.Pauline asked to adjourn the 115th meeting of the Alden Kindred of America.

Alden Porter made a motion to adjourn. Kristen Larson 2nd the motion. All members in attendance unanimously moved to adjourn the meeting at 12:32 pm.

Respectfully Submitted,

Director’s MessageIt is both an honor and a privilege to be the Director of the Alden Kindred of America. Since

joining the organization six months ago I have been struck not only by the historical value

of the Alden home – it truly is one of America’s great treasures – but also by the strong sense

of family shared with me by Alden relations near and far.

Fiscal year 2015/2016 saw enormous transition for the organization with the implementation of decisions made as part of the Strategic Plan. In addition, the purchase of the 97 Alden Street property has opened new opportunities for site expansion, expanded program-ming and educational outreach. Our new caretaker, David McCormick, has applied his landscaping talents to clear brush from the grounds, which now have a spacious, open, and airy feel where the two properties meet.

Under Kristen Larson’s guidance as the Development and Membership Manager, membership is up dramatically. Since adopting the by-law changes that opened membership to all and initiating the membership campaign last year, we’ve added over 290 new members, a 15 percent increase. Lineage applications have also increased significantly and Staff Genealogist, Lilly Cleveland, has been very busy keeping up with the documentation demands.

Another change that you will notice over the coming year is the completion of the migration of our membership records to Past Perfect, a museum contact manage-ment software, and the integration of our processes with our back-office accounting, thanks to bookkeeper Carol Smith. Bonnie Conant did a terrific job of maintaining the membership database and this new system gives us the ability to link all of our museum data needs, from membership and donations to collections and volunteer management and better connect with our members.

The 240th anniversary of American Independ-ence provided an opportunity to spotlight a different generation of Aldens. Sponsored by the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati, Revolutionary War reenac-tors helped present “Liberty Pole Day,” transporting visitors back to the nation’s beginnings and into the Alden House story with living history demonstrations and fife and drum music. The program also capped a week of tours by local fifth graders as they explored how that war touched their community.

Visitors from around the world continue to make their way to Alden House seeking to explore family roots and connect with the Pilgrim story. Their motivations underscore what Daniel Webster once said: “There is sort of genius of the place, which inspires and awes us…we feel we are on the spot where…our history was laid.”

Looking forward, AKA is an active participant in the Duxbury’s 2020 Committee, preparing the town for anticipated interest in the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s arrival in Massa-chusetts. We are in the planning stages for an orientation film, developing educational outreach opportunities to engage the local community, and collaborating with the University of Massachusetts archaeologists to reexamine artifacts from the 1960 dig at the “first site.”

Thank you for your support and your kind welcome.

Respectfully submitted,

Desiree E. Mobed

In August 2015 we gathered beneath a tent at our National Historic Landmark, Alden House Historic Site, for the 115th An-

nual Meeting with over 100 of our members and supporters. Strategic By-Law changes topped the agenda which opened

our membership to any person supporting the Kindred mission in preservation, education and exhibition of Alden his-

tory and heritage. We announced membership incentives for lineage members to waive genealogical fees for close family

relatives not yet in the Kindred, thanks to the generosity of former Board member Alicia Crane Williams whose donation of

$5,000 defrayed administrative expenses. New Board Members and Officers were elected and we reviewed a Strategic Plan

that would place us in a strong position to be a key player, especially in Duxbury, in the 2020 National Commemoration of

the Landing of the Mayflower. A spirited discussion surrounding the possible acquisition of abutting 97 Alden Street, a par-

cel of land that would restore a 2.7 acre portion of the original 1627 land grant given to John & Priscilla Mullins Alden.

Dear Kindred Member,

“Continuity gives us roots, change gives us branches,

letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.”

Page 9: AKA 2016 ANNUAL REPORT FINAL

C O R P O R A T E A N N U A L R E P O R T | 9Well, it’s been quite a year! On October 30, 2015 the Alden Kindred of America purchased 97 Alden Street. The Kindred raised roughly 50% of the down payment in new dollars, with full Board support and participation. The two dwellings on that property were updated and promptly rented. As it would turn out, the tenant occupying the farmhouse also owns and runs a management business focusing on cleaning and landscaping and we became their first Duxbury client. Our grounds are now regularly maintained. Our buildings and Alden House are cleaned daily during the summer and any small repairs, snow plowing, and clearing of brush between our properties are all handled by them.

Bill Thayer, the architect of the Alden Barn has been energized by our acquisition of property and our preservation efforts in the Alden House. He has jumped in to assist with the integration of our land assets and has developed “Alden Possibili-ties” for future use of our properties. We are so fortunate that all these good people are helping us at this time.

As we charted a new course, our previous director left, and a search committee, ably led by Peg Baker found us De-siree Mobed, our new director, who came on board in February. Desiree brings years of experience and leadership in the historical non-profit world and we are so lucky to have her on hand. She joins Kristen Larson, our Membership and Development Manager, and Lilly Cleveland, our Genealogist who has had a busy and extraordinary year. Carol Smith literally found us when she recently moved to the area and joined the Duxbury Rug Hookers who meet upstairs in the Alden Barn. Carol popped into the office just as the director had left and said, “Do you need any help?” We said, “Can you do QuickBooks?” Carol said “yes” and she was added to our talented staff. Carol’s husband is a minister who answered the call to serve a local church, so we like to think that it was “divine intervention” that sent Carol our way. Kim Martin, our accountant, is another essential ingredient!

This year, we have had the largest membership growth in decades due to the incentives listed above and the fact that now any person who shares our mission can become a Kindred Member. Those members who would like to certify their lineage may do so through our genealogy staff, but it is no longer a prerequisite for membership.

The Alden Kindred became an Organizational Founding Non-Profit Partner with Plymouth 400, charged with the running of the 2020 commemoration. A Duxbury400 Committee was formed and our Director currently sits on that board.

Our education programs had a banner year. Trish Birk-Smith, our lead docent and educator, led and instituted a rigorous high school internship program, the fruits of student research and exhibits are on display in the Alden Barn for the 2016 season. We extended our Third Grade program to area schools and developed a fifth grade program focusing on Alden’s and the American Revolution. We are actively seeking funding to expand our education programs onsite and online further this coming year.

The 10th Annual Speak for Thyself Award Dinner was a great success and it was our pleasure to evangelize the missions and life work of: courtroom illustrator Jane Collins, food redistribution advocate Ashley Stanley of Lovin’ Spoonfuls and nuclear safety advocate Mary “Pixie” Lampert, additionally recognizing Cameron Schiller, a Duxbury High School senior who at an early age has demonstrated exceptional leadership and community commitment with an “Aspiring Priscilla” award.

Museum season kicked off in June with a Liberty Day Festival that celebrated the Alden’s and the Revolutionary War and, specifically, events that took place right here in our house 240 years ago! Complete with a Fife and Drum Corp, re-enac-tors engaged throngs of visitors and enthusiasts. Continuing this tradition of celebrating 4 centuries of Duxbury and the Alden Family we have begun to create a short film to be used to enhance one’s visit to our National Historic Landmark. Stay tuned!

I want to thank the Board, Committee Members, Docents, Generous Donors, Volunteers, our Kindred Members and espe-cially our Staff for guiding us through a year of changes and a year of promise. We are on the right track and will be focus-ing our attention on further membership growth, sustained financial stability, and fitting our two properties together to improve the experience of “Bringing History to Life at the Alden House Historic Site.”

Friends, Cousins, Members,

This year has been a whirlwind of expansive visibility and

abundant support both in our local and national communities but

also our virtual one. Striving to provide the value in membership

means finding creative ways to engage new audiences.

We bring Alden history and heritage to life, highlighting

the constancy of the homestead and the Alden family through

the centuries. Those who venture here learn of the fortitude and

fearlessness of John and Priscilla and also learn of their legacy:

presidents and leaders, pioneers in aerospace, notable authors, and

those who seek to connect with and support this place. The sense of

place is known here in the very place where history happened. Our

stewardship to that legacy leads us in mission to preserve, educate

and exhibit the unique Alden artifacts and share their story.

The words of life member Mark Baird are still impressed upon

me, “Being an Alden makes me feel like I am an active participant in

this great American adventure rather than a casual observer.” We rely

upon the generosity of every one of our relationships with members,

friends, and benefactors to accomplish great things, in much the

same way that a body has many useful parts which together comprise

a whole, we the staff, board, volunteers and donors together with

our membership, comprise a powerful team that is effecting the

exact type of attention every historic home could possibly dream

of: the visitors and enthusiasts, and most of all, the children. In a

time when many places are struggling, Alden House Historic Site

and Alden Kindred of America are thriving. Whether by birth or by

boat, we are all here now, thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kristen Larson

Finance ReportFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This Report is to be read in conjunction with the attached Financial Statements dated 6/30/2016.

Statement of Activities:

1. Revenues: Total Revenues are $241,155(including $40,712 of Investment returns) vs. $140,337(including $22,333 of Investment Returns) in the prior year. The anticipated (budgeted) transfer from Endowment was not done due to having sufficient cash on hand to cover our activities without needing the transfer. Monies from the Endowment fund were, however, used to cover costs to purchase the 97 Alden Street property that were not financed by the loan from Rockland Trust. All categories of Revenue showed an increase over the prior year!

2. Expenses: Expenses exceeded the prior year by $33k. About $23k of this was payroll (anticipated in the budget), and $6k for increased event expenses. (Events still netted an overall profit).

3. Statement of Position:Our Cash position is lower than last year but still in good shape. Investments have been on the upswing due to the recent strength in the stock market and our donors’ generosity. However, the Fund is lower than last year due to the withdrawal for 97 Alden costs. The total owed to Rockland Trust on our mortgage at 06/30 is $473,977. The loan was for $480,000 and is a 5year term loan. Monthly P&I payments are $2,752.

Conclusion:

All in all, the Kindred continues to be financially stable and our thanks goes out for your support. This enables us to continue do the work that benefits our constituencies: This being: -Our educational and Community outreach, -Historic preservation projects-especially that big project on the property here-the museum, -Genealogical assistance to our members and prospective members, -Gur scholarship awards and -The Speak for Yourself event that honors exceptional women in our Community.

Please give us your support so that our important initiatives can continue.

Respectfully for the Committee,

Alden Keyser

SPEAK reportThe Alden Kindred held its 10th Annual Speak Awards Dinner in May honoring three outstanding women. In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Speak, we recognized a young woman showing exceptional leadership in her early years. Our first “Aspiring Priscilla” was Cameron Schiller, a graduating senior at Duxbury High School.

Jane Flavell Collins of Duxbury, renowned courtroom illustrator. From Whitey Bulger to the Shoe Bomber and the Boston Marathon Bombers, her authentic portrayals are recognized worldwide;

Mary “Pixie” Lampert also of Duxbury, formed the organization Pilgrim Watch. Under her leadership Pilgrim Watch advocacy led to the 2019 decommissioning of the Pilgrim Nuclear Plant in Plymouth, one of the most unsafe nuclear plants in the country;

Ashley Stanley Brookline native and founder of Lovin’ Spoonfuls” that has rescued over 3.6 million pounds of fresh and healthy food and redistributed it to those in need. Food recovery of just 15% can result in the feeding of 2 ½ million people, not to mention the tremendous impact on waste disposal.

These awards honor the memory and steadfastness of Priscilla Mullins Alden, wife of Pilgrim John Alden, who spoke up for herself in choosing John as her husband….and the rest is history!!!

“Archly the Maiden smiled, and, with

eyes overrunning with laughter, Said in a tremulous voice,

“Why don’t you speak for thyself, John?”

Genealogy Report It is a very exciting year at the Alden Kindred with our lineage certification program. The interest level is extremely high and people seem genuinely eager to prove their line to Mayflower passengers John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. The homestead and property are an added benefit as they can visit where their ancestors lived and worked on the original 1627 land grant, cellar hole and house.

The benefit of our membership drive last fall and the anticipation of Plymouth’s 2020 commemorations (just 3 short years away) have added to our applicant pool. The interest in lineage societies right now is very strong and will continue. People want to know who they are and from whence they came. It gives a great depth of feeling to visit your ancestral home and to have documented your relationship to that family. It is extremely meaningful.

We have many requests for lineage research as well. Some require extensive documentation and it is very helpful to be able to guide them as to where to find every-thing. It is not easy. The lucky few who have family as members have a distinct advantage. All they need to do is connect themselves to that other member via vital records. This is a great help to future generations, research efforts and lateral relatives. We have many whose cousins or great aunts were members whose process is greatly streamlined.

Our Archives are a great benefit to applicants as we can look up generations beyond the silver books series (Mayflower Families through Five Generations, Descend-ants of John Alden, v 16, parts 1-5) and make connections. We can use the information to make it possible for applicants to make the connections between parents and children in subsequent generations. It will also serve as a resource for future generations.

There are many free resources people may use during their research process and I am happy to guide them toward completing their files. The internet is a burgeoning resource and family genealogy books beyond copyright are available if you know where to look.

This year, I approved 154 certified lineage requests to join the Alden Kindred. Our society maintains its unique and prestigious reputation. Furthermore, it is one of the oldest lineage societies in the country and one of the few who maintain the original homestead and land grant. I am also working with 106 prospective members who need research assistance.

We are excited by the growth and interest in our lineage program. It is a pleasure to serve the Alden Kindred of America, Inc.
