It was an experience that I will never forget. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire community as well as my parish community of Saints Philip and James, and Mr. John Dolan, principal of Smithtown West High School, for the platform they pro - vided to bring awareness to this critical need. The outpouring of kindness, support, patience and generosity by all who attended was truly overwhelming. It was this positive outpouring of selfless giving that enabled our community to raise 54 pints of life-saving blood. My heartfelt thanks, Gabriella Sehne Senior Smithtown H.S.

Indian Summer Reverie The Group

dawn birdsong bows to crack Once a month we meet at Jim’s, of It’s always quite a pleasure, sere saffron leaves rattling their To get together with your friends, rustling dirge to summer’s end; And maybe find a treasure.

muffled drumbeats of dense droplets It’s all brand new, no matter what, push petals into icy troughs A chapter, verse or story.... of foam, You never know just what you’ve got, Perhaps, “The seeds of glory”.... and blackened driftwood floats and swirls away memories But also there’s a comradeship, of salty clams and sweet That’s always present there. charred corn; Its quite unique and prevalent, Which you can’t find elsewhere. a cricket chirps his lonely sentry song This comes about, I must assume, Because of... “a burning desire”... hearths creak and beckon To join the ranks of all who write, as clarion triangles of geese And keep the “light on fire”.... and gull darken our last crimson suns.... I’m speaking of the “light of life,” Which encourages human endeavor. –Mary McKell So let’s all toast our old friend Jim, And keep it going forever!

– David F. McKell
