2021 Annual Meeting

As with our 2020 Annual Meeting, due to concern surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it was decided that a formal meeting such as we normally have could not be done. As a result, the meeting was held “virtually”, on March 10 using Zoom. This meeting actually consisted of 2 portions, with the “Guest Speaker” portion being recorded first and the “Business” portion being recorded immediately following.

The recording has been posted on the ASC website, with the Guest Speaker Dr. Zachary Singer speaking on his work on the Templeton site.

Scott Brady kept the meeting moving along. Highlights include:

• Recording Secretary Mike Cahill provided a year-in-review report on FOSA’s 2020 activities.
• FOSA Treasurer Jim Trocchi presented the Treasurer’s Report for 2020.
• CT State Archaeologist Sarah Sportman gave the OSA report, describing OSA activities during 2020 to the accompaniment of several images.
• Cynthia Redman will be retiring from active FOSA activities; her contributions to both the organization and to individual members were given by many participants, either online or via text message.

Due to there being no formal meeting this year, there was no Certificate of Appreciation award in this meeting. Rather, it will be deferred to a future “in-person” meeting.
