Beacons of History Awards - 2022

Congratulations to Tony Lassiter and members of the Melzingah Chapter of the DAR — recipients of the 2022 Beacons of History Awards presented by the Beacon Historical Society. More than 200 people turned out for the sixth annual event at the Roundhouse. We were especially pleased to have a representative of the Secretary of Defense present special recognition to Tony and 10 other Vietnam-era veterans in the audience in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of that war “on behalf of a grateful nation.”

The event is our largest annual fundraiser and celebrates Beacon’s rich sense of both history and community. It was a fabulous night — thank you to everyone who supported it, especially our five Mount Beacon sponsors: City of Beacon Housing Authority, Art & Mary Lou Johnson, Denny & Karen Meyer, The Roundhouse and the VanBuren Family. Save the date for our 7th Annual event on Thursday, November 9, 2023.
