On August 15, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and her husband William J. Hochul Jr. were hosted by Fire Island Pines Property Owners’ Association (FIPPOA) President Henry Robin and his husband, Bob McGarity, at a gathering at their Fire Island home to thank her and her Administration for the incredible work they have done in convincing the Army Corps to restore our beaches. Over the winter, $3 million was granted to place trap bags in the most damaged areas of the Pines and elsewhere on Eastern Fire Island. She compelled her administration to include up to $1.7 billion in future state funding to cover routine renourishment for future erosion as part of the Fire Island to Montauk Point (FIMP) Reformulation Plan, if and when necessary.

Michael and I attended the 47th Annual Lambda Legal Fundraiser in Fire Island Pines. The reception was held at the home of Matthew Mitchell. Many were in attendance. The party continued Saturday afternoon with a pool party at James Dale and David Lam’s spectacular house on the Ocean. Ken Jennings, CEO of Lambda Legal, spoke powerfully about our government’s revised positions on the gay and trans populations. Lambda work remains essential and relevant. We must support them so they can continue the fight. In attendance was New York State Assemblyman Tony Simone (District 75, West Side of Manhattan.)
