A word, or two, from your President:
Many thanks to all who attended our October 7 th meeting. A capacity audience enjoyed a most interesting and informative presentation on the special history and development of the Union County Park System. Kathy Cevallos and her colleagues from the Friends of Rahway River Parkway presented a fine program enjoyed by all.
Please join us on Sunday, December 9th at our annual Holiday gathering for an enjoyable afternoon featuring a program by your President showing how people sent Christmas greetings to one another 100 years ago by way of beautifully illustrated postcards.
Thank you, and please know we appreciate your continued support!
Charles Shallcross
