President’s Letter

Hello neighbors,

I hope everyone enjoyed the month of May in Indianapolis!

With the Farmer’s Market in full swing it definitely seems like summer and I have one summer event announcement to make.  The Second Annual VRA Golf Outing will be held on Saturday, August 8 at the Zionsville Golf Course (more details later in this VV).  Thanks to Todd Rech for organizing it again this year.

I would also like to thank Tom Santelli of the Boone County Council and our neighbors Dan Porzel and Cara Weber for speaking at our last meeting.  We do not have any meetings scheduled until August 18.  Stay tuned for details.

Please note that the board has discussed eliminating the “Non-Voting Membership” since we also have an “Honorary Membership” to cover anyone living outside of the village that would still be affiliated with the Association.  I will put this up for a vote at the annual meeting in October and I will e-blast the details at least 30 days prior to that meeting.  Please ensure you are receiving the e-blast and your membership is active if you would like to participate in the vote.

One last note, I saw on the news that the suspect we were warned about by ZPD who was trying to rob businesses and churches in the area by wearing a suit and acting as if he “belonged” there has been apprehended in Bloomington.

Cheers,

Scott Lusk

The Zionsville Historical Society Announces Upcoming Program on Victorian Mourning Customs 


The Zionsville Historical Society recently announced plans for a special free program the organization is hosting as a part of this year’s commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. 


The community is invited to attend “In Memory of Our Dear One” – a program on the mourning customs of the 19th century presented by Nancy Perzzo and Karen Patton of Bloomington, Illinois on Sunday, June 28, 2015 from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. at the Zionsville Lions Clubhouse located at 115 South Elm Street in Zionsville, Indiana. No reservation is necessary. “This is a very special year for us,” says Zionsville Historical Society President Ralph Stacy. “President Lincoln’s inaugural train stopped briefly in Zionsville in 1860 and, of course, Lincoln’s funeral train came right through town again in 1865. Zionsville was a very young, small community—just 13 years old with a population of about 250 people, but we played an important part in the history of that time.” Presented in full period costume—enhanced with a variety of props, music, and visuals—this program promises to be both educational and entertaining. According to Perzzo and Patton, “Victorians understood that death was an everyday part of life and that there were many rules of mourning etiquette expected to be followed. Each phase of mourning sent a special social message to others. 

Join us as we discuss the private and social aspects of mourning in Victorian era America. We will learn about the expectations of dressing properly while grieving, the significance of draping the home and inner decor, the importance of living photography and post-mortem photography, the popularity of spiritualism, and much more.” Attendees of this free program will enjoy refreshments, as well as the opportunity to learn more about the mission of the Zionsville Historical Society.
