  Holiday Hangout: Celebrate the Season with Your LIBBA Family!

  
  

  Dust off the holiday sweaters and join the LIBBA family for an evening of food, friends, and giving back! This is our annual, free holiday gathering, and we'd love to see you there.

  
  

  Date: Thursday, December 11th ⏰ Time: Starts at 7:00 PM Location: Islip Terrace Fire Station (264 Beaver Dam Rd, Islip Terrace, NY 11752)

  
  

  Here's the plan:

  1. A super short monthly meeting to cover the basics.

  2. Two hours of mingling—no agenda, just great conversation, good food, and catching up with the people who share your passion for the beach.

  3. Enjoy complimentary hot food, sandwiches, coffee, and holiday cookies!

  Help Us Help Long Island! We're turning this into a community aid event. Please bring your donations of gently used clothing (coats, scarves, socks, etc.) and unwrapped toys. We will be collecting everything and donating the proceeds to a local Long Island charitable organization.

  
  

  It's FREE! Just click your RSVP so we can get a good headcount for the catering.
