General Meeting Guest Speaker
We are very excited to have as a guest speaker Sgt. Peter Griffith who is with the Port Washington Police Station. He has been with the PW Police Department for 10 years and is in charge of “Community Affairs”.
The topic of his presentation will be “SCAM Awareness and General Safety”, a subject very much on our minds. We hope you will attend to learn how to identify scams, how to report one, and how to recover if you ever become a victim.
Mark your Calendars!
The philanthropic luncheon will be held on October 18 th , at North Hills Country Club, and it will benefit Saint Michael’s Home. Invitations have been sent please RSVP. Call Alex Pappas 516-365-8351 with any questions.
