D’Ippolito Elementary School Parents Appreciation Night - November 18, 2011
The Vineland Historical Society was pleased to honor a request to exhibit some items from our collections that would be of interest to the children and their parents. Antique toys, instruments of music, Native American artifacts and early Vineland pictures, documents, and items were well-received by all. The turn-out was great and the exhibit was a hit!
Tending the exhibit were trustees Ruth Shropshire, Lois Genovese, and Nancy Steelman. VHAS Docent Lauren Valentine assisted as a 19th century lady. The entire exhibit was under the direction and instruction of VHAS Curator and Administrator, Patricia A. Martinelli with help from volunteer Tessa Messore and Louise T. Bertacchi.
