March 2013 Meeting
By Admin | September 29, 2014 at 10:10 PM EDT | 1 comment

Our March 16, 2013 meeting featured the Second Annual Fondue Dinner and a program on The Hermitage by Howard J. Kittell, its President and CEO.

Andrew and Rachel Jackson built this Tennessee and national landmark in 1821, just 36 years before organization of The Swiss Society of Nashville in 1857.

Members could not stop talking about Mr. Kittell's having so many colorful Jackson stories with associated dates immediately at hand. "Most interesting" and "outrageously well informed" were other comments.

Mr. Kittell said, "I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the members of the Schweitz Verein. Your have a delightful group of people to interact with. I love sharing stories about Tennessee's first president. They are truly tales worth telling." 

The program was part of our Learn or Re-Learn About Nashville series. This engagement with our members will be encouragement for visits or re-visits to the mansion and grounds.

Possibly some members may want to become volunteers and contributors via http://www.thehermitage.com/.
