Community Hall Transferred to North Hero Historical Society

On July 31, 2007, the North Hero Select Board and the North Hero Historical Society completed the transfer of the North Hero Community Hall, also known as the Town Hall, to the North Hero Historical Society.  Voters approved the transfer of the Community Hall to the Historical Society on April 28, 2007.  Final action awaited the voters’ decision not to rescind the previous town vote and the completion of all preliminary preparations to the satisfaction of attorneys for the town and the historical society.   Attorney approval came on July 26, and, on July 30, Walter Page, acting as agent appointed by the select board, signed the deed to transfer title.  On July 31, Tracy Giroux, co-president of the North Hero Historical Society and agent appointed to act on behalf of the historical society, added her signature to necessary paperwork and submitted fees to complete the historical society’s part in the transaction.  Eileen Mitchell, co-president of the historical society, was present for the signing on July 31.  Town Clerk Ruth Miller notarized and accepted the warranty deed for recording, thereby completing the transactions needed to transfer the Community Hall to the North Hero Historical Society.
