PRESIDENT GENERAL'S PROJECT
The President General’s project for the term of 2020-2023 is the National Pilgrim Memorial Meetinghouse. The Meetinghouse is located in the same place the Mayflower Pilgrims built their Fort (Meetinghouse). There have been five buildings here. Building on the National Pilgrim Memorial Meetinghouse began in 1897 and was finished in 1899. It stands at the top of Leyden Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Many of the New England Women members have lines that go back to Plymouth and the surrounding area. What a wonderful way to honor our ancestors.
Quite a few New England church’s sprouted from this one. Many of our ancestors would have been members of these churches.
This building has Tiffany stained glass windows and a Paul Revere bell. If that’s not enough it also has the records of our ancestors. Some of the records go back to 1608 in Scrooby.
Won’t you please help the National Society of New England Women to help in the restoration of this historical building.
In New England Friendship,
Jane D Schleinzer

The Maud Brown Pendleton Endowment Scholarship/Student Loan Fund began in 1935 at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, long called the New England College of the Northwest. The loan fund has provided the means for many students to complete their undergraduate education. In 2018 the first Scholarship, in the field of Education, was awarded.
PATRIOTIC PROJECTS
The USO. Members’ work with and financial support of the U.S.O. originated in San Francisco to serve the many troops going to and returning from Vietnam and even today remains focused on the U.S.O clubs. Recognition of the need to support the overseas U.S.O. clubs used by American servicemen prompted the National Society to broaden its interest in clubs based in Europe and the Far East.
Veteran’s Hospitals. Work of the Veterans Hospital Committee is nationwide and reflects the members’ gratitude to and interest in those veterans who require short- or long-term care. Service and financial assistance are National goals.
The National Society of New England Women is a proud Commemorative Partner of the Vietnam War Commemoration, to learn more about the Commemoration, please visit www.vietnamwar50th.com.
