Martin Hochhauser called the year's last meeting to order precisely at 8:00 PM. Martin then introduced Lou Newman, who was serving as the club's acting president for the evening, as both our regular president and vice-president were absent that night. President Dan Ashley's wife was coming home from the hospital that day and we all wished her our best. Lou called on
Jerry Goldberg to introduce the evening's speaker, someone with whom he's very familiar; Duchess
County Legislator Sandra Goldberg. Sandy is the outgoing Democratic minority
leader of the County Legislature and had has been an elected legislator, off
and on, since 1981. This is only slightly shorter than the 36 years she has been
married to Jerry. Sandy, who has addressed this club numerous times over the
course of her elected career, will be retiring at the end of 2011 so this was her farewell address to the club while still in an official capacity as well as her most recent State of the County assessment.
Submitted by Peter Albenda, with respect.
