In
1967, your Emerald Society was founded by past presidents, Jack McMahon and
Bill Conklin. The 82 members who joined that year are
now considered charter members. Monthly meetings were held at the Lake Ronkonkoma
Firehouse on Portion Road in Lake Ronkonkoma.
In 1967 our organization became a member of the Grand Council - United Emerald
Society of New York.
