At the Society’s Annual Dinner on April 16th, we will be treated to a talk by J. Richard Pierce on the more unusual historical aspects of the American flag. Mr. Pierce is the author of the 2005 book, The Stars and Stripes, Fabric of the American Spirit, which highlights the evolution and broad variations the flag has undergone.

The event will begin at 6PM at the Berkeley Plaza, 735 Springfield Avenue in Berkeley Heights. The cost is just $35 per ticket for hors d’oeuvres, dinner and a stimulating speaker. Copies of Mr. Pierce’s book will be available for purchase.
