The LBIF is off to great start this season! This is the first summer following the devastating affects of Hurricane Sandy. The community on the island have rallied and supported one another and as the current saying goes in NJ, we are "Stronger than the Storm".
On several occasions I volunteered for the LBIF of Arts & Sciences to "throw pots" at a few community events - Founders Day & the LBI Thank you Festival which was a huge celebration with food vendors, arts & crafts and over 25 talented bands - all to say "thank you" to the rescue workers of Long Beach Island for doing a great job through Hurricane Sandy and the following weeks. They were both great days and we had many children and parents stop over to try their hand at "throwing a pot" or to handbuild a pinch pot or coffee mug. Hopefully we made some new friends and will see their faces at the foundation this summer.
