Thank You, Judy Bensimon

Judy Bensimon has served on the Retired-United Teachers of Northport Board of Directors since her retirement. Serving as Membership Chairperson, she was the glue who held our organization together. Judy recently celebrated her 90^th birthday, and decided it was time to let someone else step in as Membership Chair. As a thank you for all she has meant to us, members of the current Executive Board honored her at a luncheon on April 26. We are glad to say that while she has stepped down as membership chair, she will be continuing as an At-Large member of the board. Additional photos in our Photo Gallery
