: The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation will hold its Annual Meeting of Membership and Annual Meeting of Board of Directors on Tuesday, January 10, 2012, 7 PM, at the Saratoga Arts Center, Dee Sarno Theater located at 320 Broadway. This year’s keynote speaker is Christine Dixon, Executive Director of Wiawaka Holiday House, who will lead an illustrated lecture titled “Wiawaka: History Still In the Making.” Wiawaka was created by and for women in 1903 and is the oldest and longest continuously operating retreat for women in America. Through its long history, Wiawaka served female textile workers, laundresses, and millworkers from Troy and Cohoes, NY. Set on beautiful Lake George, the property was given to Wiawaka through Mary Fuller and Katrina Trask, who built the artist’s retreat Wakonda Lodge on the site. Wakonda is soon to undergo a complete restoration and rehabilitation. Today, Wiawaka still serves as a retreat to women of all types. FREE and open to the public. Kindly RSVP by Monday, January 9, 2012. For further information please contact 587-5030 or go to www.saratogapreservation.org
