DECADE OF TR CENTENNIALS!

The year 2001 puts us squarely in the middle of what has come to be known as the "Decade of the Centennials for Theodore Roosevelt."

100 years ago, TR was sworn in as Vice-President, and later as President of the United States.

The Friends of Sagamore Hill is proud to be a part of this celebration, and we find ourselves with a full calendar of events for the first part of this year.

"A partnership has been forged between the American people and the National Park Service in order to preserve President Theodore Roosevelt's historically significant home at Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay as a National Historic Site. . . "

This heritage-minded group is The Friends of Sagamore Hill and boasts membership from all over the United States. You are cordially invited to join us in helping to preserve and protect the only presidential site on Long Island.

The fourfold purpose of the "Friends":

• fund raising
• advocacy
• volunteer recruiting
• staging of special events

The Friends either host or participate in many of the activities at the site, which are designed to keep alive the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt.

An objective of the organization is to explore and develop meaningful ways to work with the National Park Service to serve the visitors to the site, while preserving the integrity of our American heritage.

Also included is dual membership in the prestigious Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA). The Friends of Sagamore Hill operates as a Chapter of the TRA, with the preservation of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site as its primary purpose.

While joining has many advantages, the best is the satisfaction you will receive knowing that you are helping preserve a part of America's great history for your children and grandchildren.

On the eve of his unexpected death, Theodore Roosevelt told his wife,

"I wonder if you will ever know how I love Sagamore Hill."

Generations later, visitors to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site continue to "fall in love" with his home.
