It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Holiday Party this week; we hope you enjoyed the music, caroling, food and friends that make this one of our most popular events.
With the year now drawing to a close, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for making our 2019 season such a success. It’s been a wonderful year, starting in May with an exhibit by Pierson High School students, followed by exhibits by local artists Candace Hill Montgomery and Cindy Pease Roe; two historic exhibits featuring whaling-themed stamps and postcards and 19th and 20th century toys; and closing the year with our ever-popular “725” art exhibit.
What makes this all possible? You do! It’s only with the support of our members, local businesses, volunteers, friends and neighbors that we’re able to celebrate the history of our village and bring her story to life. We truly could not do it without you.
And for that, we say “Thank you!”
With our best wishes for this holiday season, and a happy New Year – we’ll see you all in 2020!

Misguided PremiseThe amazing part of The Express News Group is that it continues to carry water for the Democratic Party despite what it’s done to America and the American people. The present-day Democratic Party is left, socialist-leaning and antisemitic — and...
Used, Not LovedFrom John Green’s novel “Looking for Alaska”: “People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.” Still here....
Hostile AttitudesUpon first reading Michael Wright’s article in the July 3 Southampton Press [“Shinnecock Nation to Southampton: Take Down Our Seal — We’re Done Talking,” 27east.com, July 2], what first came to our attention was his use of the word “confrontational”...
Radio LifelineCongratulations to our local radio hosts Gary Sapiane and Bill Evans of radio station WLNG. They have just been inducted into the New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I only can say that it’s about time they were recognized....
Paying AttentionWhen my children (12, 9) ask about politics, our discussion often begins with a question: What do you value? Kindness is big for them. Also, trust. Fairness. Music (in general), Dylan and Swift (in particular). Lately, “being heard” is trending...
