On Saturday, February 12, 2011, at 12:00 Noon at the statue of Abraham Lincoln at the entrance of Lincoln Park, Kennedy Boulevard and Belmont Avenue in Jersey City, Association Vice President Mr. Michael Ricciardone will host the monument ceremony.  Dr. Jules Ladenheim, a Past President of the Lincoln Association, will recite a selected letter or speech of President Lincoln. A local chorale will provide patriotic music. The ceremony will conclude with a placing of a wreath at the monument. Later that evening at 6:00 PM, the Association will host the One Hundred Forty-Sixth Annual Dinner at the Casino in the Park, Lincoln Park, Jersey City. The featured speaker is to be announced.    While no formal application is in effect, attendance at either the ceremony or dinner on February 12 is sufficient to confer membership. The Association, however, is eager for the participation of Lincoln enthusiasts in planning and conducting administrative, educational, and other outreach programs. If you have such an interest and wish to participate more fully, please email  your suggested contribution to the Association.
