Help celebrate Waltham Land Trust’s successes from the past year by attending our annual meeting. Lynne Tolman, president of the Major Taylor Association, will present an illustrated talk about Major Taylor, "the Worcester Whirlwind." Learn the remarkable story of the 1899 world champion's life on and off the racetracks of the world, his connection to Waltham's rich cycling history, and how the legacy of this African American pioneer is shaping cycling today.
During the meeting, we’ll also provide updates on issues we're tackling, celebrate our Inge Uhlir Environmentalist of the Year, honor retiring Board member Diana Young, and vote on returning WLT Directors.
More on our presenter: Lynne Tolman is a cyclist herself, a writer and editor -- retired from the Worcester Telegram & Gazette -- and president of the nonprofit Major Taylor Association, based in Worcester. She has written about bicycling for VeloNews, USA Cycling, and other publications. She lives in Worcester and bikes with the Seven Hills Wheelmen.
