delayed appearance of the Windmill,
but this was unavoidable.
The amount of work at the office has
been increasing daily due to our ex
panded business activUi&s andvn~addi-

the services of our girl Friday, Grace
Arcoro. Grace has been confined to the
hospital as a result of a rather severe
and unexpected operation, but I am de
lighted to inform everyone that she is
on the mend and will be back with us
in the very near future.
In addition to serving as your presi
dent I have been elected to the presi
dency of the Netherland Club of New
York. This means that I am entrusted
ivith the supervision of the administra
tive affairs of that organization.
Although I am deeply gratified by this
honor which was bestowed upon me, I
promise not to let my nevj duties interfere
with our business activities.
I am leaving for Holland shortly as
~Fwms~Tequ'ested by the-Brewery to meet
with the Heineken's officials in Amster
dam to discuss further plans for expan
sion of our shipments to the United
States market, and to review the de
mands put upon us by the increased
business in this country for which we
are all very gratified.
In the next issue of the Windmill I
will tell of the results of my trip and in
the meantime may I remind you to !(Keep

On March 5, 1957 the Netherland Club
of New York made its annual award of
the Half Moon Trophy. The members of
the club took this occasion to present to
His Royal Highness Prince Bernhard of
The Netherlands, an honorary trophy in
recognition of his many services to the
Dutch people during his many visits to
the United States.
The Half Moon Trophy is the annual
award the Netherland Club bestows upon
the Netherlands immigrant who, through
his occupational efforts, has set an ex
ample of achievement for the contribu
tions of the Netherlands immigrant to the
American way of life.
The trophy is a hand carved sterling
silver replica of Henry Hudson's ship,
the Half Moon, in which he sailed up the
Hudson River.
This year's Half Moon Trophy was
awarded to Dr. Isidore Snapper for his
distinguished achievements in the field of
medicine.
