All Please join us for the next New York Map Society meeting. Free and open to the public. The next meeting of the New York Map Society's 2011-2012 Fall/Winter season will be Saturday, October 15th at 2:30 pm. "Columbus's Ultimate Goal: Jerusalem" Carol Delaney, author of "Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem" will discuss the several goals of the Admiral of the Ocean Sea, not all of which are as well-known as his first goal: to sail west across the Ocean Sea to reach the east. But his ultimate goal was stated in his request to the Spanish sovereigns “... to spend all the profits of this my enterprise on the conquest of Jerusalem.” See our "Meetings" page at http://www.newyorkmapsociety.org for more details. Carol will be available to sign copies of her book. You must bring your own book for her to sign. AND REMEMBER, we've moved -- our new meeting place is just across the street from the old -- at the Mid-Manhattan Branch Library, 455 Fifth Avenue, in the 6th floor Conference Room.
