Sunday afternoon band concert on eve of
Flag Day
|
BROOKLYN
- Friends of Historic New Utrecht presents the Kings County American
Legion Headquarters Band in concert in the Parish House of the New
Utrecht Reformed Church on the eve of National Flag Day, Sunday, June
13, at 2:30 p.m. Irwin Meyer conducts. The music program, one in a
series offered by the local historic organization, is free.
In
its nearly 80-year history, the band has included musicians from the
famous John Philip Sousa Band, the Goldman Band and many big bands of
the 1940s. Flag Day this year will be celebrated the next day, on
Monday. Always on June 14, it commemorates adoption of the flag of the
United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second
Continental Congress in 1777.
The
concert site is historically significant, as a 104-foot flagpole stands
nearby on the church lawn at 84th St. and 18th Ave. in Bensonhurst. It
is the nation's last remaining Liberty Pole, the sixth to have been
placed there. An inscription on the pole reads: "This
Liberty Pole marks the spot over which the American flag first waved in
the town of New Utrecht. The original pole was erected by our
forefathers at the Evacuation of the British, November 1783, amid the
firing of cannons and demonstration of joy." The New Utrecht Reformed
Church was founded in 1677.

Church World Service to help provide relief to the 1.5 million people
affected by the February 27 Chile earthquake in which hundreds died and
500,000 homes were severely damaged. Also, RCWS contributed $40,000 to
Church World Service February 23. This latest grant from RCWS,
combined with others from Church World Service member communions, will
help ensure that the basic life needs of many in Haiti are met during
this difficult time of crisis and adjustment.
