Community Club 90th Anniversary
Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray (left) presents an official Town of Hempstead Citation to Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead President Emily Sair of Garden City (center) in fitting recognition of its 90th anniversary. The club was organized in 1919 at the insistence of the National League for Women’s Service in order to perpetuate the community spirit created by wartime activities. It is a union of the National League for Women’s Service, the Hempstead Women’s Club, the Civic League, the Garden City Political Study Club, and the Shedowa Garden Club. Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell was also on hand for the anniversary celebration.
