President's Message

I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the recent Shields Scholarship Award winners. These winners listed on page #4 will receive their awards at our June 25th meeting. Special thanks go to Mike Villa for chairing the scholarship committee.

If the recent heat wave is any indication of the summer we have in store for us, then the Shields annual boat ride on Friday night August 8th will be a "cool" success. We are grateful that Rich Rottkamp has once again agreed to organize and host this fun filled and enjoyable event. Details and information for obtaining tickets are on page #7.

John Colorundo has agreed to run this years two day golf outing being held on Sunday - Monday, September 28 & 29th at Fernwood, Hotel & Resort in Bushkill Pa. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to join us. details on page # 11.

"Special Thanks" to our members and friends who joined us dressing the veterans graves at Long Island National Cemetery. Also thanks to those who provided crowd control and security at the Empire State Games for the Physically Challenged.

Try to join us on the 25th, Joe Wolff has an interesting and impressive speaker, Rear Admiral Robert A. Rosen, NYNM (RET) .
