Historical Society Created
It’s official. Seaside Heights now has its own historical society! The organization, formally known as Seaside Heights Historical Society, is a New Jersey non-profit corporation with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. The organization is led by a seven member Board of Trustees comprised of Lou DiGuilio, Marsha Dionisio, Betsy Dudas, Dr. Floyd L. Moreland, Peter Smith, Christopher Vaz, and Joseph Verderosa. Dr. Moreland accepted responsibility for serving as the organization’s first president.
The organization’s purposes include scanning, documenting and archiving historical documents; historical research; genealogy; planning exhibits and special events; developing membership; and perhaps most importantly for the near-term, raising funds for the preservation of the Moreland Carousel.
