The Alden Kindred of America will host its 2025 “Speak for Thyself” Awards Dinner on Thursday, May 8 at the Jones River Trading Post in Kingston.  The Speak for Thyself Award honors exceptional women in the 21st century who, in the spirit of Priscilla Mullins Alden, choose their own paths, as pioneers, advocates, community organizers, and business leaders, thereby creating better lives for themselves and their communities.  This year’s nominees will be announced shortly.
