The InterAgency Council of Glen Cove, Ltd. (IAC) held its April 14 meeting at the First Presbyterian Church, hosted by the Reverend Betsy Simpson. The Reverend Simpson welcomed the IAC membership and spoke about the church’s centennial celebrations that are in the planning stages. The guest speaker, Michael Davidson, executive director of Glen Cove chamber of Commerce gave an informative presentation of the growth of the Chamber since he joined as the Chamber’s first full time executive director.
