Join Bill Patrick virtually (at 12:30) or in-person at Noon for a light lunch with friends as we explore historic photos, deeply researched details, and thought-provoking portraits of some of Schenectady's most dynamic citizens. Metrofix is an inspirational story of our comeback city.

"Metrofix: the Combatative Comeback of a Company Town" shows what went right and what went wrong when General Electric moved most of its businesses out of Schenectady, NY. Between 1960 and 2000, this company town would lose 30,000 residents, and like so many other cities in post-industrial America, faced overwhelming forces that pushed it toward imminent ruin.

Visit https://www.cgoh.org for more details or to pre-register for the light luncheon or the Zoom link.
This is a free event, a suggested donation of $5.00 is welcome.
