2023: ATTENTION, ATTENTION!!! The New York Pipe Club Summer 2023 BBQ

Louis F Carbone | Published on 7/10/2023
Announcing...
(Looks like we will be able to pull it off)

but let me say this… Please read and consider...

 

If it were not for the generosity of some members who will remain anonymous, this BBQ may not have happened, or at least in the format we are used to enjoying.  I was considering going to a so-called, “Pot Luck” format whereby you’d bring your own, or extra food items, and that still might not be a bad idea.  Monthly dues payments have seen a significant drop off since the days of Covid.  In fact, as I’ve mentioned before, even our monthly meetings have suffered from poor attendance since then, although our June meeting was very encouraging with a really great turn out and some new faces as well, hopefully we keep increasing.  Otherwise, I don’t quite know what to do about it.  As far as dues, which are still voluntary, although, I don't really know what difference it would make to have them become mandatory,  my main concern is to maintain the website which allows us to reach everyone with monthly newsletters and any significant news or events and to stay in commuication.  We have a Facebook page which is "free" but realize that not everyone has Facebook, yes, even today!  At this point, we have enough funding to carry the website expense for the remainder of the year.  So, I urge you to consider paying the $25 dues payment, it really is an investment in YOUR club and what it allows us to do for YOU!  

As always, I cannot thank Charlie and Marie, and Dolores, enough for hosting the event once again and for all the work Dolores voluntarily puts in to make it happen.  Please be sure to extend many thanks to them.

Rain Date: 8/06

 

Free food, free 'baccy, - who wouldn't want to attend? 

The party will start at 1pm and go until we run out of matches! - here is Charlie's address:

Charles Pilnacek
27 Oak Street
Lynbrook, NY 11563


As always, the party will start at 1pm. Charlie's place is an easy drive for all of our members and friends from NY, NJ, CT and PA so please do not let the venue location prevent you from joining us!!!

For those driving, place Charlie's address into your GPS.  For those without transportation, Charlie's place is very near to the Long Island Rail Road's Lynbrook station and we can arrange to provide pick-ups for you from the station to Charlie's house, which is a short drive away.  If we know who is coming we'll also try to coordinate car-pooling.


 

IMPORTANT: For those driving, we need you to bring a folding chair or table or two.  Charlie has a limited number of seats and tables so additional seating and tables would be much appreciated.  Perhaps you might have pop-up tent style canopies which are very helpful. as well.

The festivities start at 1pm and club will provide the comestibles and soft libations (that's food and soft drinks).  

  We will work on arranging to have you picked up from the Lynbrook Station to Charlie's place which is a short drive away.  If we know who is coming we'll also try to coordinate car-pooling from New York City, and from New Jersey.  Call Lou at 347-886-9784 and I'll try my best to work it out. 

BTW, this event is free and is made possible by your voluntary dues payment of $25 per year.  If you haven't paid your 2023 dues, now would be a great time to do so via the website, mailing a check or by seeing Lou.
If you aren't sure whether you are a 2023 member, just ask!

This looks to be yet another great pipe event of the social season, so don't miss it.  Mark your calendars, warn your spouses, and start choosing your best picnic pipes.  See you there!

More details will follow in future emails as we get closer, so just mark the date and please stay tuned!

As always...   All Are Welcome!!!
