Dunno if they're still active, but they're an association that's exclusive to important Bostonians. A friend well-versed in Boston politics signed me up. Maybe Matzoh will know.WHL wrote:What is that?

One of my ancestors—Charles Bulfinch—was significant in Boston around the time of the Revolution.

harles Bulfinch (August 8, 1763 – April 15, 1844) was an early American architect, and has been regarded by many as the first native-born American to practice architecture as a profession.[1]
Bulfinch split his career between his native Boston and Washington, D.C., where he served as Commissioner of Public Building and built the intermediate United States Capitol rotunda and dome. His works are notable for their simplicity, balance, and good taste, and as the origin of a distinctive Federal style of classical domes, columns, and ornament that dominated early 19th-century American architecture.
