Catching Up and Coming Up


At Peconic Bay’s April 21 business meeting, Mary Ann Miller reported on Peconic Bay’s very successful service project for the Parent Leadership Initiative, held on April 14 at the Riverhead Free Library. Using the computer room at the library, Mary Ann and Mary Pat Takacs, a former member of Peconic Bay, guided 10 participants through a session about resources available at the public library, accessing the library's online catalog and databases via computers.

Also, Barbara Pierce added India to our growing stats on birth, infant mortality, fertility and literacy rates for various countries.

Coming up: Service project on May 12, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Melville location -- Volunteers needed to sort food for the annual Letter Carrier Food Drive. This is in lieu of our normal business meeting in May. Send an e-mail to Diane Greenberg (greenb@bnl.gov), who is organizing this for our club. Diane and Barbara are planning to go.
