New trustees are: Tom Erickson, James Heine, Eric and Susan Krasa and Joanne Pisapia. All were inducted by Kenneth Steider, one of the society’s past presidents.
The emcee for the evening was outgoing president Edward Mangold of Whiting who was awarded a gift for his many years of devoted service to the society.
Door prizes were given out, and Don and Dianne Upmal of Brick were happy to win a replica of the River Belle which plays music and lights up.
