Rich spent a lot of time policing the parking areas and cleaning the areas up. Thank you Rich. How did we make out financially on this event? Rich will let us know. We had a little problem. Rain, Rain, Rain off and on.

Newt asked me to remind all our members to sell tickets as only 3 weeks remain before the Duck Barbecue. So please get going on the selling. of tickets for Duck dinner and Big Duck race tickets and small Duck race tickets. Turn in as soon as possible the Duck race tickets as you sell them as they have to be processed and it is a lot of work to much to do the day of the Duck Barbecue.

There are still a few people who have not paid there dues. Please lets see the money. Give your checks to Secretary Joanne.

The Kwannis is serving dinner to the Campers this Tuesday Night at 5:30. Anyone able to attend please make an appearance -- show them we appreciate their efforts. Rich will be there -- he belongs to the Kwannis Club also.

Thursday night, August 23rd. it will be our turn to feed the Campers again. So be there as early as possible. We realize everyone is working. Dinner starts at 5:30 for the Campers and staff. So as early as you can before that to set up. Thanks to all.

There was an article in Newsday by Bill Beeyer ----------Austistic kids sail forward in program. With a couple of pictures too. Sayville yacht Club volunteered to take the kids sailing. Some of the kids were nervous at first but after the ride and also part way through the ride they relaxed and wanted more. It is part of the Autism Family Swim and Sail Program. It was organized by parents of Autistic Children for more recreation for their kids. The program director is Marie LeMaire (Bill's wife) and their son Christopher is enjoying the fun. Susan Bartels from Moriches Rotary Club is very heavily involved in this program. Thank you Susan for all your hard work.

See you all Thursday night at Camp Paquatuck 5:30 or before to help set up.

That's all there is...................................................Joanne
