Upcoming Meetings:

Thursday, April 16, 2009, 7:00 p.m.
"Changing Times: North Hempstead History"
and a tour of the North Hempstead Town Hall

Town Hall of North Hempstead
220 Plandome Road
Manhasset, New York

Our evening program focuses on the early 20th century when North Hempstead's Town Hall was built. (Town Hall was refurbished last year in celebration of its 100th anniversary.) Leslie Gross, North Hempstead Town Clerk, will present an illustrated history of the Town, assisted by Joan Kent, the Town Historian. Following the program in the Town Board Room, we will tour the building. Historical photographs are in the hallways, showing various scenes of the past in the Town of North Hempstead.

(Further information about, and directions to this program, and list of past programs, and planned future programs is available on the Calendar page.)

News from the November Board Meeting:

At the November 13, 2008 NCHS Board Meeting the following slate of officers was elected:
President: Dr. Natalie A. Naylor
Vice Presidents: Denward W. Collins, III and Edward J. Smits
Recording Secretary: Irmgard Tuechler

After 26 years of service to the NCHS as a Board member, Mrs. Francis (Mildred) Roessler, has resigned from the board. To many of us over the years, Mildred and her husband Frank, have been the smiling faces and helpful hands behind the refreshment table at program and board meetings. Mildred's service as Refreshments Coordinator was enjoyed by all who attended these meetings.

The 2008 Journal, Volume 63, is nearing final production with an anticipated mailing date in late December.

A message from NCHS Past-President Denward W. Collins, Jr. reviewing the Society's events of last year.
