Historian to Speak at Library

     The Anne M. Hale Speaker Series will continue this fall with a talk by Arthur S. Lefkowitz  on “Eyewitness Images from the American Revolution.”         

   The speech, slated for Thursday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. at Westfield Memorial Library, 550 East Broad St.,  is the third talk in the fifth annual Hale series that will conclude on Oct. 11 with a presentation by Westfield Symphony conductor David Wroe.

     In two previous talks for the Hale Series, Lefkowitz proved to be a popular lecturer as he discussed the Revolution and showed slides from   that period.  He is the author of a number of Revolution-related  books that have received awards and favorable reviews.  

    Lefkowitz, a Piscataway resident, holds a BA from New York University and a MBA from Long Island University, and has taught American history at Middlesex Community College. He owns a sales-consulting firm specializing in architectural hardware.

   The Anne M. Hale Speaker Series is made possible by grants from the Thomas Glasser Foundation and The Anne and Lee Hale Fund, and is hosted by the Friends of Westfield Memorial Library. The series is named after the late Anne M. Hale, who was active in the community as well as a library patron.

     Lefkowitz’s talk is open to the public but pre-registration is required. Those planning to attend may register online at www.wmlnj.org (click on Online Calendar) or by calling 908-789-4090 ext.
