Longtime member Allan Dampman will receive the History Preserver Award
HURLEYVILLE – ROSCOE (September 14, 2011) – In the past, the Sullivan County Historical Society, at their Annual Dinner, has awarded individuals from Sullivan County with the honor of “History Preserver.”
The honoree is a person who symbolizes the stated mission of the Society: the preservation of Sullivan County history for the enlightenment of future generations.
This year, on October 16, the Society will honor Allan Dampman, a longtime member of the Board of Directors for Historical Society, with the “History Preserver” award in recognition of the years he has devoted to serving the Society in various capacities, and providing leadership and coordination to the yearly Commemoration of the Battle of Minisink program.
Though Allan’s chosen career was in the ministry, he eventually turned his interests toward education, joining the staff at Sullivan County Community College during that institution’s formative years.
Serving as Associate Dean, Allan’s work involved developing community relations as well as acting as program administrator for the college – skills that served him well when he joined the Sullivan County Historical Society.
Under his leadership as SCHS President, the Society sponsored numerous popular programs and successful fund-raising endeavors. He later served the Society as its treasurer for sixteen years.
Equally important, Allan helps organize and coordinate the annual ceremony honoring the Revolutionary soldiers who resisted the Tory and Indian raids along the Delaware, culminating in a battle upon the heights overlooking Minisink Ford. Though these brave patriots were routed, the battle’s importance would soon be apparent with the demise of the enemy by General Sullivan and the opening up of western territories free from British influences.
Join the Sullivan County Historical Society in honoring Allan Dampman on Sunday, October 16 at The Rockland House in Roscoe, NY. Dinner is $30.00 per person, with a social hour beginning at 4:00 p.m. and dinner at 5:00 p.m.
Please call 845-434-8044 for information or reservations by October 8.
