Long Island Club
 

Is there a Long Island Club? Where and when does it meet?

Thanks

There was one once but it closed. We on TOTV discussed starting a new LI club and I was going to try to put something together. But because I am a snowbird and am having lots of company over the next few months, I feel I don't have time to spend to get something going. There was lots of interest and a LI club should be successful but unless someone else takes charge, forming one will have to wait until next year. What part of LI are you from, Murfice?

We are from North Babylon and are snowbirds also

Welcome!
 

i am from deer park!! maybe we could just have a big Long Island party one evening? all it takes is to get a room at a rec center near you, reserve a night and post it on here and maybe in the recreation news! a monthly club is a lot of work and the last club folded because of lack of help, but a one-time party, with everyone bringing pot luck, and maybe some ice breakers for everyone to be forced to mingle, could be a lot of fun....ideas anyone?

From the previous thread about LI clubs, the posts and PM's I received tell me there is much interest. Your idea of one meeting is a lot less troublesome than a monthly commitment. If people agree, I will check with Sterling Heights or Fishhawk Rec Centers and see if we can be given a room near the end of the month. Are we interested. Can I ask for a room big enough to fit 30 people?

A show of hands... Who is interested? I don't want to book a room and be the only person to show up.

We are snow birds from Coram and would also be interested.

IF is a big word. But I believe we will need a large room. I'll look into it before the end of the weekend.

thanks tom!
 

hope it will be a night i can make! sounds like fun....i know a couple of good ice breakers but other ideas would be appreciated. important to get folks milling around and meeting each other. will watch for your posts!

make it on a weekend and you will definitely have 3 families that I know of!
Long Islanders.

From Syosset, only part time till next year I will be so happy to be there full time

Let's make it an annual event!
(Jericho, Bayville, and out East P/T)

That is a good question... When I approach the rec centers...what day do I try to book? I fear a weekend room might be not available. I suppose an evening meeting is better... A shame The Villages do not have an Eisenhower Park where we could all just gather at either the picnic area or at the stage. It wouldn't matter if twenty people showed up or a hundred. There would be plenty of room.

And yes, this could be a yearly event. I'll keep everyone posted to let you know what is available and when. And like Cha Cha said, once we have a date, we can spread the word. Maybe fellow Long Islander, Billy Joel could stop by and supply the entertainment.

Also interested in LI club........... let us know.

Was anyone able to obtain a place and date?

I am working on it, but with company visiting until Monday I will be unable to do much until then. I already have a backup plan if the original plan doesn't pan out. Please be patient.

Let's do it
 

Let's do it , Dix Hills LI

Let us know if you need any help. We also have company until Monday morning but can help Monday afternoon. Eisenhower Park is 1,075 miles away! The food might get cold!

I'm a TV part-timer from Manhasset.

If I'm in town then, I'm in.

How about Riverhead!

Friends and I were just discussing Riverhead. Growing up in Brooklyn, we had a house in Riverhead, Flanders Rd, and we would go there for most of the summer. My parents rented these cabins that were on the property. There wasn't much to do there then but we had good times.

LI Chat Night
 

In the meantime, how about a LI Chat night in the Chat room? -- i'm only a wanna' b, but I'll be down there this week (for the 4th time)! YIPPPEEEE!!!

No more LI club
 

think they stopped it yrs ago but the NY State club is a great one with lots of folks from Long Island

1993
 

Hey Frank, I'm from Commack! not to far from Dix Hills. Any ideas on what a 1993 Ez-go golf cart would sell for?

I have encountered some serious health issues and my desire to start the Long Island Club is on hold. Eventually, when I'm more "betterior" I will get something going. But it might not be until early next year. The idea of a LI chat room sounds like a good idea. We can also do something not so formal and meet somewhere and at least get the ball going. A few rec centers have a picnic area and we can just meet there and get to know each other. Any one interested? PS: I grew up in East Meadow and later lived in Ronkonkoma. My wife is from Patchogue.

How about next Saturday or Sunday for a brunch around 10:00? We could meet perhaps at the picnic tables at Sterling Heights, or any of the others. Bring a small dish to share before it gets too hot?

Sounds good to me. Give me a day to think about it and time to get out a new post to gather the LI people. It should work.

Wasn't Eisenhower Park something? One of the things I miss about Nassau County. That and Borrelli's on Hempstead Tpk. and Merrick Avenue.

We will have to create our own park down here...maybe NassSuff Park to combine the two counties.

belmont park
 

since i grew up in deer park, i am more familiar with argyle park in babylon, where i went to high school, and belmont lake state park! good memories...i would love a picnic at sterling heights...coralway and i are always at odds on the political forum but i will try to restrain myself :)

A quick show of hands. Will Saturday May 5 around 11:00 work for everyone to have a Long Island meeting. Nothing formal but it will be something to get our feet wet with. Before anything is definite, I will need to clear it with Sterling Heights officials. I don't see a problem but it would be better to make sure. If the meeting is a go, I will pick up name tags. Linandvin have offered to help out. Again... who can make it?

Count me in Tom

New Hyde Park

me, too. thanks for organizing...

Shooting for Saturday morning or Sunday morning. Getting permit tomorrow. Will advise on Monday if we have the OK for next weekend. :)

We will be there.

I'm gonna miss you by 2 days!
 

My LSV starts Monday afternoon...rats....I'm gonna miss it by 2 days! I'm from Patchogue, now live in Yaphank (also spent a number of years in Coram). Hopefully, I'll be there soon. I hope it goes well!

Where is Sterling Heights?

Sterling is after Buttonwood and Tamarin Grove. Near the bottom...near 466a. St. Charles. We are aiming for Sunday morning 10:00. Awaiting confirmation.
