The Blue Point Elementary School Peer Leaders were instrumental in putting together this informational event for our seniors in conjunction with the Suffolk County Dept. of Aging. They provided updated info about new Medicare changes and when they were finished they saw the film "Lavender" courtesy of the Library. The Peer Leaders have also applied for a grant and if received it will enable them to host this event for our seniors for years to come. Another highlight of their day was a  lunch fit for kings  that was catered by our local restaurants and deli's. The Bayport House, Cavanaugh's Pub, Christopher's, The Fish Store, and the Fire House Deli all contributed wonderful and delicious food for all. We thank them for their generosity.
