PRESENTATION BY OLLI MEMBER THIS SUNDAY:

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, why not attend research and writing workshop with longtime OLLI member, Dr. Richard Vangermeersch, at the Narragansett Historical Society. He will provide tips and inspiration, using “Women of Narragansett” to highlight his approach. Come and hear some interesting tidbits and stories about women of/with ties to Narragansett. Other NHS Board Members will also participate in the talk.

Event Timing: Sunday, September 11, 4:00 p.m.

Dr. Richard Vangermeersch is Emeritus Professor of Accounting from URI. He has lived in Narragansett since 1971. His expertise is in the history of accounting. Since his 2004 retirement from URI, he has refocused much of his efforts on researching local history, developing expertise in several topics and in several instances supporting novelists and other writers.  In addition, he has been very involved with numerous organizations’ histories as they celebrated milestones and anniversaries.
