More S'Mores For Point Beach Residents on Saturday

Residents asked to bring items for care packages for military members

If you liked s'mores before, then you'll like some more, at the End of Summer S'mores Night at the Maryland Avenue Beach in Point Beach on Saturday night.

The Point Beach Recreation Committee members are hosting another event similar to the one held during Memorial Day weekend, but they need help.

Volunteers are needed to help set up before the event begins at 6 p.m. and to help clean up after it ends at 9 p.m., said Recreation Committee member Glen Paesano.

In honor of Sunday being the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks, the committee is asking all participants to also bring items for care packages to be sent to active-duty members of the military serving overseas.
