November 2006

The annual ‘Dinner & Dusting’ is scheduled for Saturday, November 18th, 2006. The Hawkins House will be open from 10am to 4pm. Come down to dust and polish some furniture, clean windows, vacuum the carpets, or wash the knick-knacks! Two hours or so from many hands will make the workload easy and fun and entitle you to dinner at 5pm. Please leave a message on the answering machine, 924-3401, if you can join us.

The tour will include The Homan-Trusnovec House, The Mills-Tuthill House, the Yaphank Presbyterian Church, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, and the Suffolk County Police Garage Museum. Cookies and cider will be served at the Hawkins House, which is also the location of the Bank of the River Gift Shoppe. The donation is $15 per person.
