January General Meeting
Thank you to everyone who came out in the cold for the January General Meeting. We were able to catch up with now Congressman Lee Zeldins office thanks to Bill Doyle. Mr. Doyle regaled us with tales of the difficulties Mr. Zeldin had faced in the first weeks with getting settled into his new job. NY State Assemblyman Dean Murray had taken sick so he sent Mr. Flood to speak on his behalf. Village Trustee Maura Spery gave us a report on her latest projects and reminded us of up coming Village meetings. Then after MBPOA business was concluded everyone socialized over coffee and cake.

The February General Membership meeting will be on Thursday February 5 at 7:30pm. Our guest speaker will be Charlie Flagg, PhD, from the Department of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at SUNY Stony Brook. We look forward to seeing everyone there. Please bring a friend.
