This week's Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce coffee took place in the Klipsch Museum Visitor Center on 403 West Division and was the official start of this year's Paul W. Klipsch Birthday Bash.
Many friends of the Center gathered at 9:30 a.m. or shortly before to enjoy coffee, cake or punch as a pianist played in the front room. The museum's store was open, selling this year's shirts that commemorate this year's Bash, but also selling shirts with older designs for $5 apiece.
