This year's friends went out from Captree on the Island Spirit III and headed out beyond the reef. It was an active outing with fish biting everywhere and many "keepers"!

This was a Golf Outing for the books! The 20th Annual LINLA Benefit Golf Outing was held on October 8th at the Baiting Hollow Club with record attendance. The course filled so quickly that Gary Vogel (Committee Chair) arranged for The Rock to serve as a second course. Highlights of the day included; a “Putt Off” with Joe Strippoli winning this year’s contest, the first ever “Marshmallow Chipping Challenge”, and Team Riverhead Building Supply winning this year’s Champion Trophy!

The much anticipated and much needed Visitor’s Center is complete! Kevin Wiecks and his staff were eager to show it off and to share the lesson learned during the disruptive process. He talked about the strategies they used to protect adjacent tree and soils, how the new sustainable technology will benefit the landscape and how plant selection in the new installations integrate with the existing ones. We also got an update on the restoration of the historic Oak Park.
We finished the evening in the historic Carriage House and a fantastic dinner by our friends at Maple Tree BBQ!

This exclusive tour was led by Daniel Miller, Assistant Director of Buildings and Grounds, and we embarked on a captivating journey through the northern portion of this world-renown 110-acre campus. Dan illuminated the historic buildings, majestic trees, and the remaining elements of the Olmstead designed gardens. He also offered valuable insights into the adaptive strategies employed in response to evolving land use and policies.
The conversation continued as we enjoyed a picnic dinner on the beach overlooking the picturesque harbor. The evening ended watching the sun set on the Summer Solstice! It was an unforgettable experience, blending of education, beauty, and community.

A great time with Katie Tamony
