The Arlington Historical Society will hold its annual membership meeting on Thursday, May 9 at 7 p.m. at the Reinsch Library on the main campus of Marymount University.

An online attendance option also is available.

After a brief meeting that will include election of officers, local author Michael Lee Pope will present “Shotgun Justice: A Crusader Against Crime and Corruption,” related tales of the county’s early-20th-century commonwealth’s attorney Crandal Mackey and his efforts to clear out vice – bars, bordellos and casinos – in the community.

The slate of officers proposed for the coming year includes David Pearson, president; Peter Vaselopulos, vice president; Richard Samp, treasurer; and Sandy Newton, secretary. Proposed directors are Catherine Aselford, Duke Banks, Annette Benbow, Sean Denniston, Sue Eisenfeld, Dawn “Sunny” Evans, Cathy Bonneville Hix, Patrick Hope, Jessica Kaplan, Michael Schaffner, Annette Scherber, Dale Smith and Martin “Marty” Suydam.
