Springtime Means Frolic Time
by Mildred Roemer
The first day of spring appreciate the past, and for
seemed to be as good a time
as any to shake off winter
blues and look forward to
East Rockaway's June 15
Huckleberry Frolic to be
held in Memorial Park. At a
recent pre-planning com-mittee
meeting. Trustee
Santino met with the
members not only to discuss
the Frolic, but to report on
the progress being made by
the Village in having the
Mill, the oldest structure in
Nassau County, registered
as an historic landmark.
Joan and Chris Chiaffitel-lil,
this year's Frolic chair-men,
gathered information
as to the desires of the var-ious
organizations on the
type of booth or game each
planned to have. As usual,
all of the sales proceeds col-lected
by each organization
(after deducting expense^;)
go to the Museum so that it
may continue to be a grow-ing
institution of historical
learning for children to
become familiar with and to
oldtimers to remember. If it
were not for the Frolic, the
Museum might just stand as
a musty old building with
the same exhibits until they
disintegrated instead of a
lively place to visit with
rotating exhibits every
month. Doors open on
Memorial Day, thenceforth
on weekends from 1-5 p.m.,
with special tours arranged
by calling LY 9-1211.
