After decades of involvement in EHHS as a volunteer, a Board member, and as Executive Director, Marianne Halpin will retire from her position at the end of 2023. She was honored at the Annual Holiday Party on December 13, 2023 with the gift of a beautiful wood bench that will reside on the porch of the Museum. The bench will be affixed with a brass plaque that reads:
Marianne Halpin -- Thank You For Your Countless Hours and Years of Dedication to EHHS.

Board of Trustees' President Bruce Sievers highlighted her accomplishments and thanked Marianne for her commitment to ensuring the Museum becomes the premier social, cultural, and heritage organization in East Haddam. We thank her and wish her well on her next adventure!
