After again running another successful awards banquet in
late November the Monticello-Goshen Chapter of U.S. Harness Writers again
donated $3000 to Historic Track at their monthly Board Meeting on December 10.
The presentation of the check was made to Steve Jones,
President of Historic Track’s Board of Directors by John Manzi, the chapter’s
banquet chairman who is also a longtime Historic Track Board member.
“The check looks like is has seen better days,” Jones said
to which Manzi replied, “Still, it’s worth $3000 and you can take that to the
bank!”
The donation will be matched and the National Historic
Landmark will actually end-up with $6,000.
For the 31st consecutive year the
Monticello-Goshen Chapter of the U.S. Harness Writers Association has donated
to Historic Track the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame.
Last summer the organization presented a $3000 check to
Museum President Ebby Gerry, Jr. prior to the ceremonies at the Hall of Fame
Banquet in Goshen, NY in early July.
Since the mid 1980’s the Monticello-Goshen Chapter USHWA has
donated money to Goshen Historic Track and the Harness Racing Museum. Money
raised for the donations is made possible from successful chapter banquets and
the continued support of the chapter’s charity journals.
