Town Honors Three Generations Of Beach Lifesavers

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board, including Councilman Lou Imbroto, Councilwoman Laura Maier, Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Town Clerk Richard LaMarca, and Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato, visited with lifeguards at Town pool and beach facilities in recognition of National Lifeguard Day, held to honor those who work to protect the public in pool and ocean waters.

Officials held a special ceremony recognizing three generations of beach lifesavers at TOBAY Beach, honoring John, Kim and Jack McGovern for more than 50 years of service as TOBAY lifeguards.

With July 31st marking Lifeguard Appreciation Day, the Town recognized all lifeguards for their invaluable service to Town residents, whether they work at local pools or Town beaches.

“The great lifeguarding tradition began in 1967 for the McGovern family, when John first joined the Town as a seasonal lifeguard, and it was passed down to John’s son Kim, and now his grandson, Jack,” Supervisor Saladino explained. “The diligence and attention to detail it takes to be a lifeguard –John is someone who has it all, and his hard work and commitment have now been passed down to the next generation. That doesn’t just go for his family, it goes far beyond that, as John and others in our lifeguarding team help train and certify lifeguards at both our pool and beach facilities.”

Town To Host Blood Drive In Memory Of Cancer Victim

Residents Urged To Donate Blood On August 24th At Marjorie Post Park In Massapequa

Oyster Bay Town

Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announce a partnership with New York Blood Center to host a Blood Drive in honor of Bridget McElroy, who lost her battle to cancer at just 35-years old. A regular blood donor herself, it was Bridget’s wish for her family and friends to donate blood in celebration of her birthday. The drive will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2024 from 10AM – 4PM at Marjorie Post Park Community Center, located at 451 Unqua Road in Massapequa.

“Bridget McElroy was an amazing young woman who lost her life to a rare form of cancer far too soon. Even during

her darkest days, Bridget was focused on helping others and requested that her family and friends give the gift of life by donating blood. Now that she’s sadly passed away, we’re continuing her legacy by hosting “Bridget’s Birthday Blood Bank,” a blood drive in her honor. Please join us in donating blood on August 24,” Supervisor Saladino said. In July of 2020, amid the growing COVID-19 pandemic, Bridget was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of soft tissue cancer. She was just 33 years old. While being treated for her cancer, she received many blood transfusions, experiencing firsthand

what a life-saving gift blood donation can be. She was in the hospital on what would be her very last birthday, with a visitor limitation due to COVID restrictions, battling severe illness and a poor prognosis, yet her smile beamed through her unimaginable pain when she heard that so many people were rolling up sleeves to donate blood in her honor. Bridget passed away 3 months later at the age of 35. The blood transfusions she received extended her life and helped her to live more comfortably for the time she had left.

Oyster Bay Town

Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Tax Receiver

Jeffrey Pravato and Nassau County Police

Commissioner Patrick Ryder commended local

Eagle Scout Edward Muro for raising charitable funds and collecting donations to upgrade the police booth located on Hicksville Road in Massapequa.

Supervisor Saladino stated, “Edward is an incredible young man, and has proven his dedication to giving back to our community through charitable acts. He took time and raise money and supplies to restore the interior, paint the exterior and install a paved walkway at this Nassau County Police Booth in Massapequa. We congratulate Edward on earning the highest rank in Boy Scouts and commend him for giving back to our community.”

Edward Muro is a police explorer, dedicated Eagle Scout, and civically minded young man. He chose this Eagle Scout project

because it demonstrates a strong support for law enforcement. Police booths like this are deterrents to crime and used by officers during their patrol shift.
