News<br />
The Mermates are having a great summer.<br />
We kicked it off with our Father’s Day<br />
Brunch which was a huge success. We served<br />
over 180 and do not believe anyone went home<br />
hungry. Many thanks to all who helped, especially<br />
our shopper, Karen Banias, prep cooks,<br />
Colleen Van Pell, Chris Hudson, Caroline Skierski,<br />
Lisa Brennan and Ann Doonan, and Sunday<br />
cooks, Lisa & Don Brennan and Chris and<br />
Eric Hudson. Fran Lynn gets an extra special<br />
thanks for helping all three days. Many others<br />
contributed their time to make this a very special<br />
event, thank you so much.<br />
As I am writing this many club members<br />
are tuning up their acts for “<strong>Metedeconk</strong>’s<br />
Got Talent”. Patty Mroczko has put in endless<br />
hours on this and I’m sure it will be the most<br />
entertaining night of the summer. Who will<br />
win the coveted “Conk” award? I will report<br />
the details next month.<br />
The Mermates are also planning the<br />
annual luncheon to be held August 10 at the<br />
<strong>Club</strong>. This will be a fashion show and gift auc-<br />
<strong>Smoke</strong> <strong>Signals</strong><br />
tion with a fabulous lunch<br />
by those great cooks Fran<br />
Lynn and Lisa Brennan.<br />
Terri Cerrito has been<br />
working with Tangerine<br />
Boutique of Bay Head to<br />
show us the latest fashions.<br />
Reservations are a must, so<br />
please contact Ann Doonan<br />
for your reservation. Gift baskets will be<br />
collected by Elaine Salto. This is a major<br />
fund raiser for the Mermates, so we hope<br />
to see you all there.<br />
As I write this column, I thank so<br />
many who contribute their time to the Mermates,<br />
but there are many more who give<br />
an hour here or there. Some collect money<br />
at the door of functions, or help out at the<br />
Ships Store, etc. Everyone who helps is<br />
greatly appreciated by the Mermate Officers.<br />
It is also interesting to note that<br />
many who help us are also involved in<br />
other areas of the club, such as Juniors or<br />
Race Committee. This is a volunteer club<br />
and by helping out you will find so much<br />
value in your membership, not to mention<br />
making great new friends. If you would<br />
like to become more involved in the Mermates,<br />
please contact me at frandockery@comcast.net.<br />
