More than 100 members of the Historical Society of the Town of Warwick gathered for its 101st annual meeting and dinner April 21st, at the Warwick Country Club. Anna and Harold Wilson and Nell Rothschild (who was not present) were honored by the Society for their longtime service. Mary Bradner made a donation toward the honorees' choice of needs within the Society.

At the annual meeting, which preceded the dinner, Sheila Warner, president, gave a State of the Society address. A draft of a new constitution was presented by Mary Neal McFarland for approval. Doug Stage and Debbie Kennedy were voted in as the society's new trustees, and Jeff Alario presented the budget for the fiscal year. Click here to view the constitution.

The annual dinner was attended by over a hundred Society members and guests. Hors d'oeuvres and dinner were served by the Warwick Valley High School History Club, catered by Country Courtesy Caterers. A highlight of the evening was when Anna Wilson recalled her father telling her as a young woman not to get her feet wet in the Warwick Creek or she would never leave Warwick. She stated that she got them wet all the way to her knees and will not be leaving.
