Southampton Village Ocean Rescue

Meeting Began with the prayer and the pledge.  Tom has his cousin Joann and brought Christoph, owner of a new bakery in Alpina Swiss Bakery in Bridgehampton.  Lori discussed a former schlorship winner has been diagnosed with epilepsy .  Dermot Dolan has pledged $1000, and the Rotary Executive board has announced they are matching the Dermot's donation $1000.  The money will go to purchasing a required service animal.  Great work Rotary Team!  After a meal of meatballs and penne pasta.  We enjoyed desert from Chrisoph's bakery.   I'm glad that i accidently touched what looked like a choclate chip cookie because it was insanely good.  Edoardo Simioni won the 50/50, but did not select the Jack.   We welcome back Ed from a stint in the hospital.   Still very early in the game.   $34 dollars.   Tom Guldi was sargent.  We learned about the Sunrise Highway bridge that was created in 1961, 1962, and was repaired in 1973.  It was in this day in history that America defeated England in sailing.  The hit Sugar Sugar was 6 weeks away from hitting #1 on the pop charts.  Our program was Southampton Village Ocean Rescue.  They talked about their 7 saves this year included both children and adults.  They have 70 volunteers, and are the first responders to all Southampton Village bodies of water.  They talked about wanting to expand to beaches that currently have little no coverage and swim at your own risk areas. Thank you to Sean for fulfilling his responsibility as program.  We appreciate Southampton Village Ocean Rescue for stopping by this week
