On December 9, 2024 a merry and festive time was had by all who attended the Society's annual Holiday and General Membership Party. There were 30-35 who came to celebrate the season and participate in the Annual Membership Meeting. The food and beverages were delicious and plentiful. Several of our 2025 calendars were sold. Belinda Smith, the Benicia Historical Society President, presided over the announcements, approval of new bylaws, and voting in of the next board. Welcome to our new Board Member Rebecca Sullivan and thank you to Leann Taagepera for all the research and knowledge of Historic Preservation information you shared as a Board Member. The evening ended with our annual Benicia History Quiz created by our amazing Historian, Jerry Hayes. Thank you, Jerry, for another annual challenging, fun and informative quiz.
