Hello, Members of The Milpitas Historical Society!
We have missed having meetings and presentations (as well as parties) with you all, and as we settle into more of the same in 2021, we want to find new ways to have meetings, virtual get-togethers, and presentations until we can all be together again.
As a test run, we will be broadcasting a live presentation at 4PM PST this coming Saturday, December 19, 2020. Join us from wherever you are on the planet!
The event is free, no registration needed, just show up and watch! We will be streaming live at:

Please tune in at 3:59 PST on Saturday! If you get there too early and don’t see us – or don’t see “Milpitas Historical Society” as the top video (it should also say “LIVE” somewhere), please refresh the screen. We will probably turn the live stream on at 3:58 – timing is important here. Don’t worry if you are late, though – you can join the stream any time during our presentation! Feel free to ask questions any time in the YouTube chat or comments section for our Q&A at the end! (or reply to this email at bill@billhare.tv).

Howdy, Ol’ Schoolers! I would like to invite each and every one of you to our first test of the Milpitas Historical Society Emergency Broadcast System!
We have a wonderful presentation written with this particular I<3OSM Facebook group in mind – *A History of Main Street*, by our own docent, Joseph Ehardt.
You already know him as one of the most frequent posters in this group, now you can see him live, presenting many photos, stories, and fun facts about our main drag, from the 1850s up to the present… and yes, our favorite A&W is part of that history as well… A Q&A / remembrances period will follow!
This will happen THIS SATURDAY, December 19, at 4PM Pacific, 7PM Eastern, and all time zones in-between. We wanted to make sure all of you Milpitas expatriates could attend at a reasonable hour.
The event is free, no registration needed, just show up and watch! We will be streaming live using a combination of Zoom and YouTube (which we are still configuring), so watch this space for the link(s) as we get closer to Saturday!
Let us know in the comments if this is something that interests you – depending on response to this first test, we’ll start planning more events with more special guests!
See you on Saturday, hopefully!
Bill Hare
President
The Milpitas Historical Society
