The above Banner will be our new logo on newsletters and Brochures. We are working with a county agency to produce a tri-fold brochure that we can use for promoting "Historical Beekman".		Eight different Club Scouts dens from the area earned thier "History Badges" when they took the Tour of the Roosevelt House here in Beekman. Feburary being Presidents Day ,they learned about FDR Jr. and the Different Presidents that were guest at the House.
Pictured above is some of the members from the "Betsy Ross Sewing Group" who are hard at work sewing and designing costumes for future events. One of those events, Memorial Day will be here shortly when we pay honor to the Veterans of this county, If you or your children would like tojoin the parade and march with us in costumes, please call. If you are part of a group, class or organization we would be happy to have you join us.
