The Netherland America Foundation will hold its 45th annual ball on Friday, November 20th in New York City. Celebrating Dutch-American friendship and cultural exchange between the United States and the Netherlands, the ball offers an opportunity to think about the long history arc of Dutch-American history, which goes back, of course, to 1609, when Henry Hudson arrived in New York in search of a navigable passage to Asia. .
