The Roslyn Landmark Society will hold a membership meeting on Wednesday, March 26, at the George Washington Manor, 1305 Old Northern Boulevard. Dinner will be at 7 p.m. in the Paul Revere Room. The membership meeting at begin at 8 p.m.

Harrison Hunt, vice president of the Roslyn Landmark Society, will be our guest speaker at the March 26 membership meeting and his topic will be "Long Island and the Civil War."

In his talk and slide presentation, Mr. Hunt will explore the fascinating story of Long Island's role in the War Between the States with a special emphasis on Roslyn. Although no battles were fought here, the conflict touched the lives of everyone who lived from Brooklyn to Montauk between 1861 and 1865. Local soldiers and sailors fought in virtually every major engagement of the war while the men and women on the home front backed them up with rallies, fundraising fairs and volunteer service.

This highly informative presentation utilizes dozens of historic 19th century images and modern photographs to tell the story of the historic regiments local men served in, home front activities, post-war veterans' activities and other little known facts about this facet of Long Island's history.

This program which is free and open to the public, is supported by the Roslyn Landmark Society.

A traditional Dutch Treat dinner will precede the meeting. It will take place at the George Washington Manor beginning at 7 p.m. in the Paul Revere Room. Cost is $24 per person including all gratuities. Valet parking available. Please call the Roslyn Landmark society at 625-4363.
