Bay Shore’s Alarm

This is how I feel when I get a call after midnight saying someone has left the alarm off at Bay Shore. I jump up out of bed, thinking something terrible has happened, throw clothes on, heart racing…  running – well, driving to the Club to investigate if anything is wrong by myself. What a state; imagine if there was!!! 

THIS HAS TO CHANGE! I feel uncomfortable that late at night. A couple of ladies have offered to meet me who live close, which I’m grateful. That’s not the point…  do I want to put them through what I just went through? Sirens going off in your head! I usually don’t sleep until the wee hours of the morning – but this particular night – out until 11:00 pm, chatted with mom, while getting her ready for bed, and then off I went. Out like a light. 

I have had the cameras hooked up to the internet. Now, I need them installed. I was hoping before the long weekend, but it’s here. I will then be able to videotape the last member out; and as a bonus anyone being destructive around the Club.

I will call that member and have them return and set the alarm. If they don’t have a key, they must contact the person convening that activity and have them turn the alarm off. Now we’ve disturbed at least two or three people. 

This happened Wednesday, May 17th!

Thank you,

Bay Shore’s Runaway Wheel Chair

We have a runaway wheelchair! I hope no one was in it. Please let me know who borrowed it. We don’t need it back immediately; we want to know where it has gone.

Thank you,

GENERAL MEETING – WRONG DATE

Our General Meeting is TOMORROW, May 9th, not May 8th, at 2:00 pm. So sorry for any confusion. I believe in one part of the e-blast I noted May 9th; however, in the write-up, I wrote May 8th.

I’m looking forward to seeing a great discussion on the items on the Agenda and seeing you all there.

Thanks, Lorri

Thank you for supporting our Food Bank, and come out to our General Meeting on Tuesday, so we can continue moving forward.
