Adams (Presented by Deputy Mayor Frank Seibert), as well as NY Assemblyman Michael Durso. Paul Harris Pins were presented to Gail Sullivan & Dr. Krishna Gujavarty.

Our Socks, T-Shirt & Underwear Drive for veterans culminated in a moving presentation from General Needs founder Lonnie Sherman. The event garnered attention from the local press, you may have seen articles in South Bay Neighbor as well as the Babylon Beacon. It was a lovely afternoon of fellowship & fun. Thank you Rotarian Bonnie Heller for leading the 75th Anniversary Luncheon Committee & President Elect Corey Peters for organizing such an amazing event.

Our Club's Visit to Camp Pa Qua Tuck

On Weds on 8/24/22, the Babylon Rotary Club met at Camp-Pa-Qua-Tuck to prepare & service lunch to their campers. We prepared Meatball Parm Subs & Spinach Salad.

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck – dedicated to the benefit of special needs individuals of Long Island and beyond – stands today, not from the efforts of one organization, but rather as a culmination of a tremendous wave of effort from many Rotary Clubs throughout District 7255.

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck maintains a more than 70-year track record for making the dreams of individuals with disabilities a reality. Each year, they invite thousands of campers to enjoy a session of summer fun at our 37-acre site on the shores of Kaler’s Pond in Center Moriches.

At Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, the campers experience the joys of boating, arts and crafts, music, adaptive sports and games, swimming, campfires and more. In a supportive environment, the counselors encourage campers to reach outside their comfort zones and join with their fellow campers in activities designed to enhance their lives.

Congrats to Award Recipients!
