to order: 7:45PM

Allegiance, moment of silence for our troops.
3. Roll Call.
4. MINUTES: The
minutes from the May meeting were read and a motion was made, seconded and

5. PRESIDENT’S
REPORT: Billy thanked all who participated in the beach clean up at
Shagwong. It was a very successful clean up with the best turn out in years. A
special thanks was given to the Democrat Point boy’s for coming out.
Billy also
informed us of the resignations of two Directors, John Marsillo and Brian
Quinn, both for personal reasons. If anyone who’s not a Director that wishes to
become one, see Billy.
Billy was working
on the LIBBA Grant this past week. He was in touch with John Mantione and
Assemblyman Sweeney. He sent a request proposing a change in the disbursement
of the Grant, which was $2500.00 for the new Show Booth and $2500.00 towards to
produce a new video for Nassau & Suffolk counties.
Thanks to all who
helped send out the raffle tickets.
Billy has noticed
some bickering and other similar things going on amongst some Directors. It’s
ridiculous and he will not tolerate it. This organization runs because of it’s
Directors and there is no place for this nonsense here. Let’s move forward and
work as a team.
6. 1st
VP REPORT: Cooky told us he would like to have a Jamboree meeting in about
2 weeks. Chuck will set up the night before camping. Cooky thinks that if we
don’t have to pay for the use of the Park, then we should do something to show
our appreciation.
7. PROPERTIES:
Cooky knows for a fact that last year the barbeques were put away spotless.
The other day Frank noticed that one of them was filthy.
We don’t know who
used it, but the thing is, if you get it clean, return it clean.
From now on Cooky
wants to know who uses it.
8. WEBSITE: Al
gets everything on the website, except complaints. Anything pertaining to the
website can be directed to Al. Any complaints will be handled by Cooky or
Billy.
9. 2nd
VP REPORT: Frank thanked all who helped at the Shagwong clean up.
He also said he’s
looking for help to do the upcoming show in September. Al said he had some kind
of screen he would donate for us to use at shows.
10. TREASURER’S
REPORT: Larry gave us a double shot of reports as he was not present at the
last meeting. A motion was made, seconded and passed to accept both April and
May’s Treasurer reports. A discussion was had about why we still had the credit
card machine after we made a motion back in March to get rid of it. It will be
taken care of.
11. MEMBERSHIP:
Bea gave us her detailed report on the membership. She told us we now have
21 businesses on board. We also added 42 more members.
12. EXECUTIVE
VP: Chuck arrived late from a retirement party for his ex boss, who is now
the Suffolk County Parks Commissioner. Chuck spoke with him and informed him of
several beaches we have access to that he was unaware of. Chuck also asked us
if we knew of any issues at any County Parks that can be brought up to the
Commissioner.
Betsy said Gilgo
will still remain closed because of the erosion.
13. NEWSLETTER:
Billy said the newsletter will have to go on the back burner for now.

informed us that we Directors will now have email addresses at LIBBA.com. He

with Pay Pal. We all agreed with Billy that Al is doing a GREAT job!
