Read more: Family Society Picnic – CANCELLED
Greetings cousins, We hope that everyone is OK in this topsy-turvy time. Our thoughts go out to anyone effected by this terrible pandemic. The Family Society was planning a big picnic for May 31, 2020, but unfortunately gatherings are prohibited and we have to cancel the event. We will most certainly reschedule the event for next year in 2021. Our fall membership meeting will be on Sunday, October 25, 2020, 1 pm at Ben’s Deli in New York City. Stay safe,Phil Cantor

We are monitoring the situation and we are still hoping to have our Spring Picnic at Eagle Rock Reservation in New Jersey on Sunday, May 31. As we get a little closer we will, of course, let…

Live too far from Belmont Park? Whatever the reason, we understand. But, you missed a splendid time and we want to make sure you don’t miss out again. We have started planning our next event for May 2020. Now, we could return to Belmont once again. But the Cantor tradition demands we spend time debating what to do and where to do it… That’s what we do. So here’s…

Hello! Yes I mean you, Mr. or Ms. Cantor Family member. You probably don’t know me. We both probably have not gone to many family society meetings. Too much to do, people you don’t know. Maybe you don’t have that much interest anymore. We are the oldest chartered family society in New York State. That should mean something. The question for all of us, myself included, is whether it still means enough to keep the society going. At the last meeting people actually talked about whether they should just give up trying to keep the Society going. And yet….. We are the oldest chartered family society…
