Meeting began with a pledge of allegiance by Vicki Kahn, followed by a prayer by Lynda DiBenedetto. Rosane Cassella reported that the peace pole dedication ceremony at Coopers Beach will be Oct 30th at 4:30pm. The Shinnecock nation asked that its peace pole be installed at Conscience Point in connection with the observance of its 150th year celebration, so likely a late winter installation. Terri Kiernan reported that the Golf outing was a huge success (numbers being finalized). Rob Gil confirmed the November 12th Food Boxes event (125 boxes) will be held at the Southampton Fire Department on Hampton Road. Rob worked with Dave Meyers at StopNShop to purchase the food, and Sean King, who will make the box lunches. Rob is also coordinating with the schools for the kids to make and decorate the boxes, and will contact Heart of the Hamptons to confirm their need for the food boxes which Rob will store at his facility the week prior. Joy Pak won the $11 table stakes and donated it back. Travis Corwin was a gracious sergeant, accepting this duty at the very last minute! Ed Simioni reported that the Village has now appointed a concierge to manage the senior services. I-Tri was the featured presenter; this organization is devoted to transforming self-image for school age girls via triathlon training and self-empowerment sessions. Graduates may find that this is often a pathway to employment as a lifeguard or water sports instructor. Last year they recruited 250 girls from across Long Island; the cost per girl for the training is $3,000 but it is free of charge for the girls. In 2022, I-Tri was featured on the Today show. Brian Leiser, co-Vice President, congratulated Theresa Roden, Founder, and Ragan Ingram, Program Leader, presenting them with a Rotary check and peace pole pins. Brian then closed the meeting, sending our good wishes to Marty Gilmartin and Roy Prag.
