New Business:

 

·         Peggy is feeling better, her fever is stopped and hopefully she will be better soon.

·         Our meeting will be at the Bellport County Club to help with the event because the Fucco golf tournament needs help. They raise a large amount of funds for the camp. The event starts at 9am and runs into the evening.  If you can get there during the day too, that would be great.

·         Channel 11 News was great. The energy was electric and many of the other clubs came down to support us. Thanks to everyone who attended.

Speaker & Topic:

·       Update on the Duck BBQ: Our Duck Barbeque was a great success and Muriel thanked the club. Everyone pitched in to help and the other clubs stepped up to help the day be as great as it was.

• JC’s cannot accommodate us for the September 25th meeting so we discussed and agreed to meet at the Trolley Barn in Speonk.
• Update from Bob Dovale on future guest speakers. He has one guest for October talking about the Youth Exchange Student. The district needs more outbound students. That night Bob will set up a camera and we will say hello to Milana via the web. Date is October 9^th. Last week of the month in September (the 25^th) is Student of the Month. We also will be doing Merchant of the Month that night.
