Heard It On The Grapevine IT WAS A PACKED HOUSE at the fifth annual Mayor E. Donald Conroy Scholarship dinner held at the VenetianYacht Club last week. As in the past, it was a huge financial and social success. Hats off to chairman Bert Pedersen and his hard-working committee which did such a fab job. Our congratulations too to the hard-working seniors who received scholarships at the dinner. We hear that the hors d'oeuvres and buffet Italian dinner were delicious. Among the happy guests were Councilman Lindsay Henry, Senator Owen Johnson, Legislator Wayne Horsley, Mayor Ralph Scordino, Trustee Kevin Muldowney, Shirley Skeffington, Katharine Fallon, Steve Ferraro, Connie Hoernel, Nancy Swan, "Packy" McGinnie, and everyone was so happy to see Pruddie Ferraro back from Florida, and much more. Congratulations to all on a perfect evening. BRING YOUR APPETITES. Celebrated a special occasion with good friends Marilyn and Joe Flammin at the Lake House last Friday night. This is the Bay Shore spot where the elite meet to eat. Must say the food was the best and the service perfect. Try the soft shell crabs if they have them. We met Judy and Warren Light celebrating their homecoming from a wonderful trip to Hawaii and California and a special visit with their friend Doria Liffeati. A VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY for a very special lady, Isabel Gallagher who celebrated with her family on the seventh. The founder of the Babylon Beautification Society, Isabel has established a beautiful legacy for our Village- one that will always be with us.
