Leather Helmet Benefit Night, April 11th!

President Post and Vice President Ragsdale would like to announce the Emerald Societies support for a benefit night to aid Captain Vance Green of the Submarine Base FD. Vance has been a member of the Emerald Society from the start, and as many of you know recently lost his wife Julia. The Itailian Dramatic Club in New London is sponsoring an all you can eat pasta, chicken, potatoe and salad dinner to off set the cost of the medical bills. The Eastern Connecticut Emerald Society has purchased a limited number of tickets and will be made available to dues paying members. Contact President Post if you can attend the April 11 event and are a member in good standing. The highlight of the evening will be a Cairns New Yorker Leather Helmet raffle.
