Welcome From our Board of Managers

Dear Friend,

In the spirit of one of our pioneering former presidents, Mrs. William A. Brown, "We are deeply invested in the NSCD NY's future as a hub for 'education and inspiration' in New York." Our organization was created in memory of our forefathers and foremothers who helped create this Nation, and we see it as our duty to honor their efforts. We do that through programs that enrich and educate future generations in our founding ideals and American history. May we all work to embrace the American spirit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Sincerely,

The Board of Managers,
The New York Society
