On Saturday, August 24, the Society hosted an appreciation luncheon for Mt. Sinai Girl Scout
Troop 2750. These girls adopted the historically appropriate herb garden on the grounds of
the (c.) 1720 William Miller House. Each Spring they have brought the garden back to life,
carefully planting, weeding and watering. It is a wonderful addition to the old house and visu-
ally depicts an aspect of family life many years ago. This year the girls surprised us with a
beautiful garden bench to grace the west side of the garden and our expansive backyard. A
brass plate was put into place indicating their donation to the MP-MS Historical Society. The
bench is magnificent and will always be a reminder of their significant volunteerism. Kudos to
the girls and their leaders for their dedication. The luncheon was sponsored by Branchinelli’s,
North Shore Beverage and Stop & Shop and we appreciate the support that helped make this
event a success.

Featured in the picture are, Cristin Mansfield (Jack’s mother), Steve Soldano (Jack’s father), Jack Soldano, Bobby Soldano (Jack’s brother), and dedicated friends Jared LoPiano and Cory Gardner.
Jack is an inspiration to us all, showing a commitment to service and his community well beyond his years!
