North East Tolkien Society
From Tolkien Gateway
The North East Tolkien Society, formerly known as the New York Tolkien Society, and also known as Heren Istarion, is/was the largest American Smial of The Tolkien Society. The main force behind Heren Istarion are co-chairs Anthony Burdge and his wife Jessica Burke. It is semi-dormant since 2009 due to hardship encountered by the co-chairs due to the great recession[1].
History
The smial is located on Staten Island, New York. They published its own calendars in 2008[2], 2009[3], 2010[4] and 2011[5]. It is unclear whether a 2012 calendar will be printed and sold.
Aside from Heren Istarion New York City has a Meetup.com group: NYC Area Friends of J.R.R. Tolkien & Fantasy, that appears to be active as it meets monthly.
