Rotarians John Forte, Phil Facquet, Jules Rosenberg

What do Rotarians Do?  Good things.  Rotarians are people who care about people living in their community.  On Sunday, February 12.  Rotarians from the Commack - Kings Park Rotary Club and Scouts from Pack 322 joined forces and collected food for the Smithtown Township Emergency Food Pantry.  The pantry fed 146 families in the month of July.  King Kullen in Commack was gracious in allowing the food drive to move indoors.  Once again shoppers were generous in their support of feeding the hungry.

Welcome Home Sgt. Matthew O'Malley

DateFriday, January 27, 2012 at 1:51PM

January 26th was a very special day for Smithtown students Keeley O’Malley, a fourth grader at Mt. Pleasant Elementary and her brother Connor, 6th grader at Great Hollow Middle School.  Their dad, Sgt. Matthew O’Malley, returned from Afghanistan and surprised them at school.  Sgt. O’Malley answered questions in Mr. Jackowski’s 4th grade class and explained to the students how important the American Flag is.  He said it is a symbol that reminds soldiers of home.  He encouraged them to keep remembering our servicemen and women as they say the pledge in school each day.  The staff at Mt. Pleasant also took part in the celebration by making banners and lending their photography expertise.
