Movies on the Beach
July 24, 2007

OBYC is extremely grateful for the Stephanie Zagata Neglia Memorial donation of the outdoor movie screen and equipment.  Thanks to Stephanie's family and generous donations by our members, families can now enjoy childrens movies on the beach.  If you haven't been to the last two movie nights, you really should make a point of joining us for the next movie.  The jumbo screen and sound system are spectacular!  A perfect way to spend the evening with the family.

Special thanks to Eric Neglia for this wonderful idea, and for researching and purchasing the movie equipment.  Stephanie, Eric, Riley and Jack enjoyed a similar setup at Disney World, and thought it would be a great idea for our OBYC children to share a special night with their families on the beach.  Thanks to Donna Skwarek and the Special Events committee for organizing the movie nights.

Junior Lifeguard Program
July 17, 2008

Twice each week our lifeguards provide lifeguard training for our youngsters in the community.  The children are taught lifesaving drills in the ocean and bay, kayak and paddleboard use, relay races, and exercises.  This week, the training was provided by Mike Barrett and Mark DeLorenzo.

Protect Your Skin From Harmful Sun Rays

OBYC would like to remind its members, guests, and employees of the importance of using sunscreen to prevent skin cancer.  Recently, our lifeguards and badge checkers had the opportunity for a free skin cancer screening by a local physician, Dr. O'Grady.  We greatly appreciate Dr. O'Grady donating his time for this very important service to our community.

Please Drive Safely Around OBYC

Remember...

• Speed Limit is 10 MPH

• Where there's a rolling ball, there's a running child.

• Look both ways on Rt 35 for bicycles and pedestrians.

• Pull out of driveways slowly.

• Be attentive for children playing in yards.

• Remind your guests and renters of the above to ensure safety for all.

Have a safe and happy summer!
