The Rosendale News VOL. 1 NO. 1 ROSENDALE, N. Y„ FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1938 PRICE TWO CENTS NEW BOOSTERS FOR ROSENDALE In recognition of the enthusiasm which greeted their initial offer ing of a Dinner Dance, the Trus tees of The Rosendale Society, Inc. have scored again by preparing a series of promotion meetings to in troduce their first reception and ball to be held in New York City on April 29th, 1938, and annually thereafter. The first of these promotion meetings was an invitation affair tendered to fifty of the promoters in the pent-house quarters of the Bridge Club of London Tertace. As the early comer arrived they were greeted individually by the Tr ustees and were at once initiated into a new type of society meeting. Instead of being greeted by such persons as they, might recognize and then being left to their own devices, each newcomer was re quested to introduce himself or herself to every person present, who responding in kind, repeated his or her pleasure in making a new « ' ‘ ' See. oe* ■ ' new venture and declared that and should not consider such acts a favor but a duty, and he further said that they should seek to use their united strength for the com mon good of everyone. Upon the conclusion of the prin cipal address the Chairman called upon Miss Florence Buckley, who responded with a gay address punctuated by witty sallies at the new Society, particularly concern ing its membership application blank. With respect to that she said “ I have only one criticism, and that is to the words ‘ Maiden name ’ on the member ’ s application blanks and I ask the Trustees are we to be blamed for that? ” The meeting ended in a more serious vein in an address by Charles McCarten, Treasurgr, who urged everyone to send in their . name lists and application blanks. ! He noted with pleasure the coop eration offered the Society by the boarding houses of Rosendale, many of yjhom had already sent in lists, off Winds and summer board- and vicini- COMING EVENTS Meeting — Sportsmen ’ s Ass ’ n at Herman Osmer ’ s Tillson.

As soon as it was apparent that the Society was formed with the ^thought of creating real pleasure for each member, everyone seem ed to take new interest in the pro ceedings. This effect was heighten ed by a most engaging address giv en by Cornelius J. Curtain, former ' President of the Ulster County Society, after certain introduc tory remarks by James C. Huben, who acted as Chairman. For his topic Mr. Curtain chose the value of friendship and coop eration, and with his usual urban ity held his audience rapt with tales of old Rosendale and its peo ple, of the boys with whom he play ed, of his coming to the City and of his early labors. He stressed the value of organized effort as he told of the many happy and val uable friendships he had formed in active association with others. He reminded his audience of their . great heritage in being bom in a country town and of the spiritual advantages which accompanied it and recalled likewise that for the most part the leaders of thought and action in the great metropolis were boys and girls bom not in the City, but out on some lonely coun try lane and that it was their fresh blood and energy from the farm and fields infused into the City ’ s life that made it great He con gratulated the members upon their ^.rten , -ent a worth. ^anks^ for their ; , r h?,ip and he assured them that the Society would do 'its utmost to Tortify the links of friendship they had forged with these new friends of Rosendale by welcom ing them into the meetings of the Society. “ I am certain ” he said, “ that if we learn anyone has inter est enough in Rosendale to bring them there once and we can bring them into our Society meetings, we will foster that interest suffi ciently to bring them back again to Rosendale. ” Before adjourning the Trustees declared they would hold the next meeting on Thursday, March 3rd and would invite 150 new persons to attend and to see their new So ciety in action. They further de clared these meetings would be held each Thursday in March for new groups. To perpetuate the memory and spirit of Old Rosendale, to foster interest in its long and honored history, to promote a closer com munity of interests between its resident and non-resident family groups, to cultivate social and friendly relations among its mem bers and to achieve its corporate purposes through conceited effort. ------------ O ------------ Meeting — Democratic their club rooms.
