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 90th 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
