Residents First in action

I was sitting at the Patchogue 2012 HQ on Saturday afternoon after another day of walking the Village when one of our volunteers, Bob Fonti, returned.

He said, “You’ll never believe what happened! We were down on South Ocean Ave near Hulse Court when we saw a woman and a teenager picking up 2012 literature from the doors that we had just left it at.”

Bob was in his car and asked the woman if she was picking up Patchogue 2012 literature. She leaned in towards Bob’s car window and said that she was and that she was doing it for her sister-in-law.

Bob snapped her picture with his smart phone and said that we had not removed their literature. After her picture was taken, she said she would put it back, and her teenage companion said, “What are they going to do with the picture, Mommy?”
