Joan works with an advertising firm and Chris has had a great deal of expe- rience in restoring old homes. Their Morton Avenue home was once owned by a former president of East Rockaway, Danny Shay. Both are members of the Museum Committee. Some people assume that the Frolic \runs itself.\ That is far from the truth and the committee has promised their help and support; but, most important, the fine organizations who have \toiled from sunup to sun- down\ each year are the ones who really make the event the success it has always been. Letters and phone calls will soon be going out to these groups in order to think over just what they will contribute in the way of food booths, games. Frolic Gets Chairmen by Mildred Roemer or entertainment. Let's make this a BIG One! The committee is also put- ting on long-distance glasses to try to observe and plan for 1988 when the 300th anniversary of the old 1688 grist mill will be celebrated. Monies from this and other Frolics will be \squirreled\ away towards that future date. Incidently, speaking of those jolly rodents that invaded the Museum last year, they seem to have avoided the building so far due to holes being screened and camphor spread around. Each year, the softball game played during Lyn- brook Week is for the benefit of one of our residents. The 1985 Lynbrook Week Committee is looking for a worthy cause for this year's game against Jim Jenson's Channel 2 All-Stars.
