The heritage and history of Rockville Centre — at United Church Local author Marilyn Nunes Devlin, right, is scheduled to speak at the Sunday Night Club of the United Church of Rockville Centre, 430 Morris Ave., next Sunday evening, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. The public is invited to the free presentation. When asked to write a book on the HERitage and HIStory of Rockville Centre, Devlin knew she did not want to write a textbook, so instead, she focused on writing about the pioneering, progressive men and women who created not only a great place to live, but a wonderful way of life as well. After all, it’s the people of this village who have shaped its history and defined its character. Devlin is a firm believer in the preservation of what these early pioneers of progress left behind. They laid the foundation on which future generations continue to build a strong sense of community service and spirit. As Rockville Centre continues to progress, Devlin says she hopes that knowing what has gone before will help it move forward. Devlin has been a resident of Rockville Centre for 36 years and is currently the archivist at the Phillips House Museum of the Village of Rockville Centre. She is also a former member of the Board of Trustees of the Rockville Centre Public Library, a former president of Friends of the Library, and a current member of the board of the Fortnightly Club of Rockville Centre, a woman's organization founded in 1898. In the photo above, Marilyn Nunes Devlin signed a copy of her book, “A Brief History of Rockville Centre” for young reader Maya Mangual at a reception for Devlin at the Phillips House Museum of Rockville Centre in November.

The fall/winter play group for children with special needs at the Recreation Center, called “Connor and Friends,” is inspired by 14-year-old Connor Lawless, a Rockville Centre resident who attends the Rosemary Kennedy School BOCES. On Dec. 18 the group had its largest event yet, filling both gyms at the Rec Center with special needs families. That was followed by a visit from Santa Claus who arrived on a fire truck provided by the Rockville Centre Fire Department’s Woodland Company. Mayor Francis Murray also dropped in. From left are Santa Claus, Mayor Murray, Connor and his father, Paul Lawless. The program is sponsored by the Nassau Suffolk Chapter of the Autism Society of America and the Tommy Brull Foundation.   Future “Connor and Friends” playdates are scheduled on Sundays Jan. 8 and 22 from 2:30-4 p.m. Playtime is one hour, followed by some light snacks and refreshments. Anyone interested can contact Marianne or Paul Lawless at mplawless@verizon.net
