Sincere thanks to those members who displayed their gardens: Marie and William Donnelly, Helga Dawn-Frohling and Ed Frohling, Miriam and Hal Goldberg and Dorothy and Richard Nigro – your generosity is greatly appreciated.The SRS Rose Garden at The Rogers Memorial Library has become a destination point for many residents and visitors to Southampton and this year it has been particularly spectacular. Additionally,
SRS has completed its second beautification project in the Village with the installation of the beautiful trellises and climbing roses along the Hampton Home Care wall located on Hampton Road. If you have the opportunity, I urge you to see this installation and also the installation along the wall of Shippy’s Restaurant on Windmill Lane. We will continue to work with the Village Beautification Committee to assist in the beautification of our Community.I hope that you are all planning on attending our bi-annual Cocktail Party Benefit, La Vie en Rose, to be held on Saturday, July 19th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the beautiful home of Todd Goodwin in the estate section of the Village.
