Two truly memorable events occurred at The Bahamas Historical Society in Nassau, Bahamas last January. The first was Dr Jennifer Bethel who spoke on Female Slaves in The Bahamas. Also pictured is the new Apple Laptop purchased along with a printer/Scanner to assist the Society to better preserve history, communicate and keep important documents electronically.
The crowd was slightly less than the number of extras in a Cecil B de Mille epic movie some 125 standing and some sitting in our 70 seats!As a result, we gained eight new members, sold sixteen Journals and gained one more Volunteer, Kendra Cooper, who joins Vivienne Ferguson on Saturdays. We need to praise all our volunteers, who run the museum on a daily basis. Thanks to Robert Dorsett for the video below about the Female Slaves in The Bahamas.
The second event was the performance of the two classical guitarists Anabel Montesinos and her husband Marco Tamayo under the auspices of the Nassau Music Society.
The music and humour were simply wonderful – the first half was mood evoking classical pieces and the second a skilful rendition of Beatles and modern tunes and an encore of the couple playing Mozart on one guitar!
