Special Village Board Meeting Scheduled Regarding The Bellport Country Club
Village
Trustee, Scott Horsley, tells us that there will be a Special Bellport
Village Board meeting on Monday March 22nd at 6:00pm, to discuss the closing
of the Country Club upstairs restaurant, which has, up until now, been open
to golfers, residents, and the public. Instead, it is proposed that the
restaurant space be used to expand the catering space at the Country Club
and the downstairs Grill Room be renovated and become open to golfers and
residents, but not to the public at large.
This special meeting will take place in the Community Center on Bell St. at
6:00pm, before the regular Village Board Meeting which will start at 7:00pm.
All Village Residents should plan to attend this meeting to hear about the
proposed changes and express your ideas and feelings regarding the proposal.

residents and in 1964 received its full state charter. It is a

its museum, the historic Post-Crowell House and the buildings that make up
the Museum Complex.
The Society provides gallery exhibitions, museum exhibits and educational
programs to the community. Its publication of studies on local
history and culture provide knowledge and insight into the cultural
inheritance of the area. A major purpose of the Society is the preservation
of Long Island antiquities and historic documents and the extensive
collection of books, manuscripts, maps, postcards and other memorabilia is
