SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Victorian Tea Service
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wilton Historical Society for an afternoon filled with delicious teas\, delectable bites\, gorgeous flowers and memories created with loved ones!\n\n\nThe classic Afternoon Tea is a tradition born around 1840 when members of the British aristocracy felt the need to fill the long gap between the lunch and dinner menus. Consequently\, afternoon tea accompanied by a delicate snack became a staple and symbol of both the Victorian period and the wealth of the British Empire. As the popularity of the service grew\, certain utensils\, menus\, and etiquette developed along with it.\n\n\nThe Wilton Historical Society is excited to present their very own Victorian Tea Service on May 11 from 1 – 3 p.m.. Guests will enjoy a beautifully decorated tent in the courtyard of the Society’s campus. Also find all of the classically magnificent details expected from a 19th century tea service. A Dash of Salt will provide delicious teas and bites alongside a presentation on the History of Tea with an expert from Bigelow Tea.\n\n\nWildbloom Skincare and Bigelow Tea generously sponsor this event.\n\n\nWild Roses and Blooms generously provide the flowers and arrangements.\n\n \n\n\nTickets are $60 per person for Wilton Historical Society Members; $75 per person for Non-Members. Registration is required.\n\n\nVisit online or email to reserve a spot today!\n\n\nTake Note: This event is seated\, if you would like to sit with another party\, specify in the notes section upon registration.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement — William Boone Bonvillian
DESCRIPTION:Where did the Internet\, Stealth\, GPS\, and Covid mRNA vaccines come from? The Role of DARPA in Fostering Disruptive Technologies — William Bonvillian\, MIT\n\n\nIn the 17th year of Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society’s collaboration\, the scholarly lecture series focuses on the theme of Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement. In this lecture\, William Bonvillian\, MIT lecturer and Wilton resident\, discusses the U.S. government’s crucial role in the development of everything from the internet to COVID vaccines.\n\n\nThe government not only funds the research that leads to these technological advances\, but also bridges the gap between scientific breakthroughs and their commercially successful applications. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is one of the most extraordinary engines over the past half-century for such activity. Later\, “clones” in other government agencies beyond the U.S. Department of Defense\, DARPA’s home\, also took on some of that responsibility. This session describes those breakthroughs and illuminates DARPA’s (and its clones’) role in bringing them about.\n\n\nBonvillian is a lecturer at MIT and a senior director at MIT’s Program for Open Learning. From 2006 until 2017\, he was the director of MIT’s Washington office\, supporting MIT’s long-standing role in science policy. He now teaches courses on science and technology policy at MIT and is the author of five books on innovation policy\, including a 2020 book on DARPA. Previously\, he worked for over 15 years on innovation issues as a senior advisor in the U.S. Senate\, and earlier was a Deputy Assistant U.S. Secretary of Transportation. He has served on two National Academy of Science (NAS) Boards and nine other NAS committees and was named a Fellow by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences. He is a Wilton resident and Wilton High School graduate and earned degrees from Columbia\, Yale and Columbia Law.\n\n\nThis series is sponsored by Laureen Mody and the moderator is Steve Hudspeth. A reception follows the talk and there is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit Wilton Library’s website for required registration and additional dates\, topics\, and speaker details or call 203.762.6334 to register.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...
