Socially Speaking
Two families in town had a special light all their own as both families welcomed a new granddaughter into the family. Betty and H ank P upke's daughter and son-in-law welcomed their new daughter into the family just in time for Thanksgiving, making it a true Thanksgiving time for one and all. Margaret and Peter Arcese also welcomed a new granddaughter into their family via their son and daughter-in-law and Grandma's face was beaming better than any of those Christmas lights. Welcome to the two little charmers as babies are truly the light of all our lives. Adelphi University has put on many a wonderful free event and the one held on November 27th was another one of them. They had Blanche Cook on "Eleanor Roosevelt and the Ongoing Struggle for Human Rights." Both the reception and the speaker were marvelous and enjoying the evening were: Noel Burks, Marianne Scaco, Marge Schnell, and Barbara Smith. The Long Island Choral Society will usher in Christmas with Handel's "Messiah" Part 1 and "Das Neugehor'ne Kindelein" by Dietruch Buxtehude on Sunday, December 9th at 4 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Incarnation. If you are looking for a fresh live Christmas tree, the Garden City Community Church will be having its annual Christmas tree sale on Saturday, December 8th from 8 a.m. to noon. This is run by the Confirmation and Youth Group and the proceeds will go to the Youth Mission Trip to Mexico. You just can't get a fresher tree at a better price - try it and start your own tradition. Happy birthday wishes go to Madelyne Lynn , who will celebrate her birthday on the 12th, to Angelo Romano, who will share that date for his birthday, and to Tom Butler, who will celebrate on the 13th of December. May all the happy celebrants have a great day and a year filled with good health and happiness and many more years to come. Winthrop University Hospital Auxiliary held its Volunteer Services Awards recently and Susan Williams Furey was honored as Auxiliarian of the Year, Sue Hall, Charlotte Mitchem, and Barbara Seale, who are retiring, were honored for their many years of service. Charlotte has 8,500 hours of service, Gloria Pretzfelder had 1,500 hours of service and Pat and Bob Gordon were honored for their 300 hours of service. Isabel Scriba, a long time resident of Garden City, passed away recently. Isabel was active in the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead, which she joined in 1959, and in their Garden Department for many years. She had also been a member of the Garden City Historical Society and, when the house was in its original location, she arranged for a Victorian landscaper to design and put in a Victorian garden. Isabel was always full of ideas and also willing to help put them into practice. She was in her nineties at the time of her passing and will be remembered by all who knew her as a kind and knowledgeable lady. There are 17 shopping days left until Christmas so make the most of them and shop Garden City. See you next week!
