This is the Day that the State Society gets together, like the Pilgrims did in November 1620 when they pledged their loyalty and chose a leader. We will meet to review the year’s happenings, and then will fellowship as members of the society and cousins. We also are having a special entertainer.
The Mayflower Compact – as it is known today – was signed by those 41 “true” Pilgrims on 11 November, 1620, and became the first governing document of Plymouth Colony and the first governing document by ordinary people in the new world. It declared that the colonists were loyal to the King of England, that they were Christians who served God, that they would make fair and just laws, and that they would work together for the good of the Colony. They also chose John Carver as Plymouth Colony’s first governor.
