L.I. Ruins will present a program on Central Islip's former State Hospital.
The grounds are an amazing place to find hidden ruins.  Though the facility
closed in 1996, undergoing redevelopment and demolition (home of the L.I. 
Ducks), there are still a lot of historic holdouts.  The program will be held
at the Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Avenue, starting at 7:00 p.m.  This 
program is free and open to the public.  For more info, please call:  
631/245-0675.

Author/historian Monica Randall will present a program on Phantoms of the 
Hudson.  Some say that many of the stately mansions along the Hudson River
are haunted by ghosts.  Come join us as Ms. Randall explores the mystery of
28 estates, telling fascinating stories of the people who lived in these
homes and recapturing a bygone era.  The program will be held at the Islip
Public Library, 71 Monell Avenue, starting at 7:00 p.m.  This program is free
and open to the public.  For more info, call 631/245-0675.

tour will showcase six historically and/or architecturally significant homes
that will be decorated for the holidays.  Costumed tour guides will greet you
at each home.   A reception will be held at one of our historic churches

a 50/50 raffle.  We will, again, be working with the US Marine Corp in asking

sale on Monday, Nov. 8th at Nook & Cranny, 467 Main Street,Islip 631/277-7600.
