Westchester County Genealogical Society (NY) Upcoming Meeting Mr. Vincent Dacquino pays a return visit to WCGS on February 14, 2009 and will speak to us about Hauntings of the Hudson River Valley. Local members who listened to him speak about Sybil Ludington—the female Paul Revere—at our May 2008 meeting know we will be in for a treat. Be prepared to be drawn into the world he so masterfully creates in his lectures. Mr. Dacquino is the author of several books on the Hudson River Valley. He has been a teacher in Westchester County for over 30 years and recently retired as the director of the BEPT Teacher Center. He is the founder of the Peanut Butter and Jelly Writing Academy and has made numerous appearances at schools and historical sites based on his adult biography Sybil Ludington: The Call to Arms. A "classroom-ready version" of this book for fourth and fifth grade students was released in May 2008. Mr. Dacquino is now dedicating his time to his writing and lecturing. The meeting opens at 10:00 a.m. at the Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 600 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY. Guests are welcome. Coffee and conversation precede the meeting at 9:30 a.m. MEETING INFO: TOPIC: HAUNTINGS OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY WHEN: Saturday, FEBRUARY 14, 2009 @ 10 a.m. WHERE: Aldersgate Methodist Church, 600 Broadway in Dobbs Ferry (across from Mercy College on route 9) For information about Westchester County Genealogical Society (Westchester Connection or Surname List), visit WCGS home page -- _http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywcgs/_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywcgs/) Hope to see you on Saturday!
