President’s Message:
This month’s meeting will be replaced by the annual dinner so mark your calendars. Dr. John Hart will be our speaker and I am sure you will find his program very interesting. I hope to see you at our annual dinner.
Don’t forget to prepare for the December meeting. We will have a Christmas Party and a grab-bag with a twist like we did last year. Everyone who attended and participated in last year’s Christmas Party told me they enjoyed it very much and looked forward to the next one.
Dave

Directions To The Fountains:
If you are coming to the dinner these are the best directions that I have found. If you live in Montgomery come the back way from 17K but if not: You need to get on Route 17 West to exit 119. Those coming from Middletown or Rt. 84 will get to 17west at the Gallaria Exit. Getting off at this exit (119) turn left onto route 302 south (8/10 mi). Turn right onto 17M and proceed 8/10 mi. Turn right onto Sands Rd. for 1/2mi. The Fountains is at the Wallkill Country Club on the right.
Dr. John Hart, Research and Collections Divisions, NY State Museum, Albany, has done extensive research on Native American plants and crops. Some of his publications include Crop Domestication in Prehistoric Eastern North America, The History of the Three Sisters, and Maize, Matrilocality, Migration, and Northern Iroquoian Evolution. Most recently he presented at the 2010 NY State Archaeological Meeting on his article "The Death of Owasco" which was published in American Antiquity. This research challenges former State Archaeologist, William A. Richie in defining the Owasco Tradition.

Foxwoods Pequot Native American Museum
According to the poll taken during the last meeting there is enough interest in a car pool to Foxwoods. Since the holiday season and winter is just around the corner we will try for Foxwoods in the spring. A date will be announced in January.
