SPECIAL EVENT DURING OUR SWIM

On February 8, 2009, during our swim program, Robert Cinnante, a representative from New York Life, will be offering FREE child ID kits. Below is a description of what it entails. This event is open to all. For specific questions, please e-mail or call Robert Cinnante directly (rcinnante@ft.newyorklife.com or (631) 391-2997).

Basically, the way it works, is that we gather the child's information as per the parent or guardian who is with them. We photograph, digitially fingerprint as well as measure height and weight. Within a few moments after we input, the ID prints out and we then laminate and cut to size.

This is a complimentary service that NY Life promotes. Many other comapnies charge for the service as well as sends it to you in the mail several weeks later. Our is given to the parent/guardian within 10 minutes after inputting the information.

Hope that all of you can make it to the swim program this Sunday, and will take advantage of this unique opportunity to get a free Child ID kit!

Holiday Party and Fundraiser 2008 at Sayville Yacht Club

Thank you Everyone for a great time at our 2nd annual Holiday/Fundraiser party. We are so grateful to all of you for making our program a warm and accepting place for our children. Each and everyone of you IS the reason why we have a program. To all the behind the scenes helpers, BIG THANK YOU! It always takes many hands to run a party and a fundraiser. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to expanding our program to include, yoga, kayaking, sailing lessons and surfing lessons. We also hope to increase the swimming as well.

Enjoy the pictures from our party, the resolution is not the greatest so I've attached the link to Kodak.

We wish you all a Happy, Healthy, and Peaceful New Year! I look forward to seeing you in 2009 and making it a FUN year!

So far this year our program has been a great success especially with all the children that are taking swimming lessons. With continued support from our members and sponsors we hope to continue to offer free sports activities as well as individual lessons for select sports. We will be adding more sports as fund become available. Some sports we are looking to add are yoga, kayaking, surfing and sailing lessons.

We are always in need of funds and volunteers. Please join us for our Holiday Party and Fundraiser on December 20, 2008 at the beautiful Sayville Yacht club in Blue Point.
