Northport Rotary BBQ at Wounded Warrior Weekend September 8, 2012
Posted by Andrew Giffin
Northport Rotary members and family, led by Pete Engelmann, put on a BBQ with hamburgers, hot dogs, turkey burgers and clams, along with various side dishes provided by Rotarians and Visiting Nurse Service and Hospice of Suffolk staff. In attendance were over 200 wounded warriors, their families and volunteers. The Saturday lunch followed a series of Cow Harbor Wounded Warriors Weekend events, including a parade and dinner at the Northport Volunteer Fire Department Friday night and a 10k Run, a "Birdies for the Brave" golf tournament at the VA, a "Fishing for Freedom" tournament and beach activities for kids at the Steers Beach site of the lunch. An evening clam bake at Crab Meadow Beach completed the day. See photos by Alan Pearlman in the Photo Gallery.
