The 5th Dimension Concert





The Fifth Dimension performed at the new bandshell at Tanner Park. It was a great show that was very well attended by the appreciative fans.
The bay breezes were not as balmy as they had been at the last few concerts, so the members of the Copiague Chamber of Commerce were concerned their tent would go "Up, Up and Away". It was taken down a little earlier than usual and everyone stayed well grounded.

Be THERE, or be SQUARE!

Tanner Park Bandshell Progress







Just trying to keep you up to date with the Tanner Park Bandshell progress. As you can see the parking lots have been paved and beautifully landscaped, The construction is still going on at the structure, but it looks like it will be ready for the July 4, concert of the Endless Summer Band with Al Jardine from the Beach Boys.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Paula Atherton Concert at Tanner Park

The first concert of the 2008 Summer Concert Series at Tanner Park started with the Paula Atherton Jazz Band.

Since the new band shell is not quite completed, the performance was held at the Beach Hut next door.

With the Summer breezes, good food, great music, wonderful people, children frolicking on the beach, why go to the Caribbean. Enjoy your Stay-cation right in your hometown.

Copiague Kiwanis Cruise to Fire Island



What a wonderful evening everyone had who attended the Cruise to Fire Island with the Copiague Kiwanis.
The weather was absolutely fantastic and such great company. Many hearty souls climbed the tower to the top where you could make out the Manhattan skyline. I believe some are still trying to catch their breath. Doreen Berger of East Meadow was kind enough to take the picture of me on the right in front of the Lighthouse.
There were attendees from the Kiwanis Clubs of Amityville, Lindenhurst, and North Amityville. Fran Cassidy brought about 20 of her friends, and Marie Odell and Bridget Schwartz took care of the lovely baskets that were raffled off.
