J o a n and Christopher
C h i a f f i t e l l i of Morton
Avenue were appointed by
the Grist Mill Committee to
co-chair the 1985 Huckleb-erry
Frolic that will take
place on June 15 in Memor-ial
Park. Joan works with an
advertising firm and Chris
has had a great deal of expe-rience
in restoring old
homes. Their Morton
Avenue home was once
owned by a former president
of East Rockaway, Danny
Shay. Both are members of
the Museum Committee.
Some people assume that
the Frolic "runs itself." That
is far from the truth and the
committee has promised
their help and support; but,
most important, the fine
organizations who have
"toiled from sunup to sun-down"
each year are the
ones who really make the
event the success it has
always been. Letters and
phone calls will soon be
going out to these groups in
order to think over just what
they will contribute in the
way of food booths, games.

or entertainment. Let's
make this a BIG One!
The committee is also put-ting
on long-distance glasses
to try to observe and plan
for 1988 when the 300th
anniversary of the old 1688
grist mill will be celebrated.
Monies from this and other
Frolics will be "squirreled"
away towards that future
date. Incidently, speaking of
those jolly rodents that
invaded the Museum last
year, they seem to have
avoided the building so far
due to holes being screened
a n d c a m p h o r s p r e ad
around.
Each year, the softball
game played during Lyn-brook
Week is for the
benefit of one of our
residents.
The 1985 Lynbrook Week
Committee is looking for a
worthy cause for this year's
game against Jim Jenson's
Channel 2 All-Stars.
