Family Fishing Trip

Come join us for our first Boy Scout Family Fishing Trip aboard the Celtic Quest out of Port Jefferson on Saturday, June 13th at 3:15pm.

The trip will last 4-5 hours and the price ranges from $34.00 to $43.00 depending on the number of participants. This fee includes all bait and tackle as well as a tip for the mates.

We need to know how many people definitely would like to go by the April 23rd troop meeting so a price can be finalized with the Captain. The more people that go, the lower the price.

All scout families that are interested can email or sign up at the troop meeting on the 23rd. It will be fun for all and a great day on the Long Island Sound.

Any questions, feel free to email or call Gary Gavorsky at 631 672-7287.

Lightning strike

The church was hit by lightning during the storm on Friday April 3rd.

Everything is fine, no one was hurt. Lighting hit the bell tower of
the church and blew it apart. All the cleanup and reconstruction is
being taken care of by a construction company recommended by the
insurance people. They have already cleaned up the outside of the
church and reinforced the bell tower temporarily. They church part of
the building has been closed off for now.

(Tom Baxley)

This will probably not affect us, but Tom and the church will keep the troop posted.
