Greetings Cousins
August 8th, 2009 was a great day for the Foote Family. M. Jodi Rell,
Governor of the State of Connecticut, officially proclaimed the day as
Nathaniel Foote Monument Day in the state of Connecticut. State
Senator, Paul Doyle of the 9th Senate district read the following official
statement.
On behalf of the state of Connecticut, I, M. Jodi Rell, Governor, take
pleasure in congratulating the Foote Family Association in recognition
of the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Nathaniel Foote
Monument.
For 100 years. The Nathaniel Foote Monument has stood on the
Wethersfield village green, the site of Nathaniel Foote's homestead.
The Foote Family Association of America is an organization
comprised of Foote descendants, traced from 16th Century England,
which was created in Wethersfield in 1907.
In celebrating the settlement
of Wethersfiel's 375th anniversary and the dedication of the Nathaniel
Foote Monument, the Foote Family Association of America honors our
history and raises the standards of excellence in the State of
Connecticut.
The Nathaniel Foote Monument has occupied a place of honor on
the Wethersfield Green for many years and I commend the members
of the Foote Family Association for their preservation and continued
reverence of the monument.
Congratulations on this remarkable
anniversary and may the Foote Family Association of America continue
to flourish in the State of Connecticut for years to come.
Be proud to be a Foote!
Barbara
