New Mayflower Colony has been established
By Anonymous — Tuesday, February 10th, 2015
Recently a new Mayflower Colony has been established in the area. The formal name of the group is The Rancho Conejo Valley of the Mayflower Society. The membership is not restricted to the Conejo Valley as there are members from Ventura, Camarillo and Santa Paula as well. The group is gathering for a luncheon meeting where a program about Pilgrim Stephen Hopkins, who was the only settler in Jamestown who was also a passenger on the Mayflower, will be presented. The gathering will be at the Wood Ranch Country Club in Simi Valley, at 12:00 noon. The address for the meeting location is 301 Wood Ranch Pkwy., Simi Valley, but while reservations close on Feb. 14, further interest in the group information can be had by calling Colony Governor Robert Dempster 805-504-5140. Requirements to become a member are a relationship to a passenger of the Mayflower when it arrived at Plymouth in 1620. Governor Dempster will be willing to answer any questions about the society and possible membership. |
