Your Story – Our History
The Greece Historical Society is asking the community to “Tell Us Your Story.” They are looking for stories of how individuals and families are coping with the current coronavirus situation. They are also requesting stories of how your organization is engaging with the community during this pandemic.
Greece Historical Society President Bill Sauers said, “As your local historical society, it is our responsibility to record and preserve the history of our Town. If you send us your story, an account of life in Greece (and Charlotte) during this unusual time, the story can then be recorded and preserved in our permanent collection, published in a book, and shared with our libraries and the New York State Historian’s Office. We can only do this if you tell us your story. The stories you tell your friends or share on social media will be impossible to retrieve decades from now, but your written word and/or photographs can be cataloged and retrieved for future generations.”
Please help The Greece Historical Society preserve the history of Greece during this current crisis. Email “Your Story” and photographs to greecehistoricalsociety@yahoo.com or mail to Greece Historical Society, PO Box 16249, Greece, NY 14616.

Greece Historical Society Aids the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf
Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf, Inc. is in need of food donations. Since the donation boxes that were inside the Library and Community Center are currently unavailable due to New York Pause, easy drop off points in the Latta-Long Pond Road neighborhood have been eliminated. So the Greece Historical Society is partnering with the Food Shelf and has placed a donation box on our front porch at 595 Long Pond Road. Drop off your donations of canned food (and only canned food, please) at any time. The box will be emptied daily by Food Shelf volunteers. Thank you for your help during this time of critical need.
