Once again, the Teens for B.O.B. "Open Beach Program" enjoyed a successful summer. This program is the result of a collaborative effort on the part of many individuals and organizations in our community. Every year their numbers grow and so we are able to enhance the program making it very popular among our teens, particularly those in the 13-17-year-old age group.

It has been a privilege to work with all those involved and I am happy to have been able to serve our community. I will no longer be able to devote my time to this project as personal commitments must take precedent at this time in my life. I hope that the worth of this undertaking will convince others to continue it. Let us all strive to make a Better Oyster Bay!
