ACT Joins Forces with the Lighthouse Mission
The Amateur Radio Communications Team has joined forces with the Lighthouse Mission.
One of our long standing Team Members and fellow Amateur Radio operator Tony Gazzola KB2VZG was a huge asset to the Bellport, East Patchogue communities and the Lighthouse Mission.

Tony had done so much for his community it would be impossible to put it into words. If you’d like to read more about this amazing man, visit “Doing God’s Work” posted at the Long Island Advance.
Our Team now collects clothing and donations for the Mission. Samantha Riso, our community Health and Welfare Coordinator has recently started a program to collect funds to purchase personal items for the homeless.
If you would like to donate $10 toward this cause, please contact the ACT Team by email. Every dollar of your donation will be used to help people in our communities.
If you don’t wish to donate please visit the Lighthouse Mission Web Site and find out the many ways that they help our neighbors! Donate directly to the Mission by Clicking Here!
Cross Bay Swim Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers for the Great South Bay Cross Bay Swim are needed on Friday, July 14th. Now you don’t have to do any swimming, but you can volunteer to go out in one of the boats or help out on land.This is a really exciting event because it is a chance to spend some time on a boat with some really nice people in the Great South Bay.
The Ham Radio Operators will provide communications to and from the race course to the final destination in Brightwaters.
At this time volunteers are needed at 6 AM in Brightwaters and the race is over before 11 AM.
If you are interested contact John Melfi W2HCB via Email (w2hcb@arrl.net).
