Those of you that attended our March 3rd meeting at Eisenhower Recreation ctr know we were all overwhelmed with the response by over 300 Long Islanders appearing at Eisenhower Rec Center, we reached capacity of the room but some quick thinking and we requested another room for the overflow so it worked out for the most part with the great help of the Eisenhower staff.
During that meeting we had several people come forward offering their help to get this club to grow in the right direction. Yesterday we had a leadership meeting and resolved some issues as to how we may better accommodate this fast growing group in the future.
We need a larger meeting room, we applied the next day March 4th but were declined by the Rec center coordinator saying that this response was a fluke let’s see what happens in the future, I suppose being a LI’er not taking no for an answer we requested a second room which was approved.
We intend to pursue the larger room which can accommodate 400.
