We Need Your Help
As are many organizations, the Greenport Historical Society is trying to cut costs. We have always mailed our newsletters to all members. We will limit our newsletters to 3 per year and reduce our number of speakers. If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter at all, or are willing to have it emailed to you, please email us at our new address columbiacountyghs@gmail.com or contact Pat Hart at 518 828-6747. If we do not hear from you, we will continue to mail you a hard copy. Yearly members who have not paid their dues will be removed after a year. Meetings will continue to be posted in the Columbia Paper and all are welcome. We are also looking for volunteers to help with the writing, compiling and distribution of the newsletter.
