I am a volunteer. I started volunteering for the Ducks Games last year. This year I am helping Lloyd Levine with raising troops for the effort. For those of you who are not familiar with our Ducks Fundraising…read ahead. The Long Island Ducks are a minor league baseball team and they play in Central Islip by the courts. We man one of their concession stands with volunteers from the Temple, some not from the Temple, like my parents. Thanks Mom and Dad. We take orders from customers and serve them. No experience neccessary. The Temple gets a percentage of the profits. Obvioulsy, being human, I was nervous the first time. It’s so easy that you get the hang of it pretty quickly. It’s alot of fun because of the energy and the excitement from the customers as well as getting to know other Temple members. I’ve made a few new friends and I’m glad I am able to contribute to the Temple. There is always someone who keeps us entertained while working so the time goes by quickly…and at the end you can enjoy a free hot dog. Yum!

It was great. We had a lot of fun with great company!
I’ve heard nothing but good things from the people who have worked the Ducks’ concession stand and I hope to join you all for one of the games sometime soon. I actually worked a grill in college. I was known for being fast, not necessarily “good”. It was a freshman dorm cafeteria, so the Ducks’ concession is probably up-scale a notch or two; it couldn’t be down-scale! Don’t lose sight of the fund raising aspect either. The crew at this year’s first game brought in almost $900 for the Temple in one evening’s work. Thanks to all.
