The Historical Society meets on the second Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in joining the Society, please call Mrs. Goldie T. Burbage (973-672-1783) and arrange to attend one of our meetings as a guest to see what we are all about.

The next meeting of the Historical Society of East Orange, Inc. will be on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 - 10:00 AM in the Board Room at East Orange General Hospital, 300 Central Avenue, East Orange, NJ.

In honor of the season, we will have a gift grab bag at the December meeting. Members are asked to bring a wrapped gift that would be suitable for any member of the Historical Society (male or female). The cost of the gift should be a minimum of $10. The gift will be placed in a grab bag as you arrive, and you will be given a ticket. All those participating, who have tickets, will later reach into the grab bag and randomly select a wrapped gift (except one which they recognize as their own! ). Participation is optional.

Annual dues will be collected at this meeting for 2009 membership.

Breakfast is provided courtesy of East Orange General Hospital. Please be on time.
