We do not like to bother you with pleas for support.  Most of you are members of N-AHS, who support us in various ways as an ongoing commitment to the organization.  We appreciate that sentiment.

We have our BBQ Fundraiser on Sept 27th and we will again be selling collectible calendars at the end of the year.  We hope you will support these offerings.  But there is an ongoing way for you to support us.  If you are an Amazon shopper, just buy your products using Amazon Smile.

Once you register for Amazon Smile, we will receive a charitable gift from Amazon based on your purchases.  The only change for you is that you will need to access smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com when you shop.  That’s it.  The link is below, and is also posted on the Contact/Join/Support page.  Register today.

Our outdoor lecture on Aug. 20th proved that you can enjoy life and stay safe at the same time.  we have more events planned in the coming weeks.

The night was a beauty, and almost 50 people spread out to enjoy a trip down memory lane, punctuated by John’s interesting and humorous anecdotes.  We hope to present some video for those of you who were not able to attend.

 

We are holding our annual BBQ fundraiser on Sept. 27th from 11 to 1:00.  Tickets at Newark Wegmans and the museum.
