New England Society of New York
The New England Society in the City of New York (NES) is one of several lineage organizations in the United States and one of the oldest charitable societies in the country. It was founded in 1805 to promote “friendship, charity and mutual assistance” among and on behalf of New Englanders living in New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nesnyc.org/about-us/history )〕
