Greenport News: CAST celebrates 50th anniversary next week
It’s a wrap — the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are over. I hope you all enjoyed yours as much as I enjoyed mine. Now it’s time to hit the ground running.
St. Agnes Faith Formation classes resume the week of Sept. 28. Levels 1-5 will meet Tuesday afternoons from 3 to 4:15 p.m. and levels 6-8 will meet Wednesday evenings from 6:45 to 8 p.m. Register before Sept. 28; even if you have registered in past years. Forms are available on the parish website and in the church’s front foyer. Children not registered with St. Agnes will not be able to walk from the school on Tuesday afternoons. Confirmation study resumes in January. Check the bulletin for more information.
Fifty years of doing anything continuously is an accomplishment, but when you consider that CAST has been serving our community and making lives better for half a century — now that’s saying something. Come celebrate CAST’s 50th anniversary Thursday, Sept. 17, at Soundview Restaurant. For tickets and info, call 477-1717.
Rivalries abound this week in Greenport High School sporting news. While it doesn’t carry the same weight as the Dorrie Jackson-Herb Goldsmith coaching days, East End bragging rights are up for grabs this Friday evening when the Porters take on the Mariners in Southampton. Game time is 7 p.m. Also on Friday, the Greenport boys soccer team has a varsity match in Southold at 4 p.m.
He’ll still be with us for a couple more months, but I’d like to take this opportunity to thank GHS athletic director Jim Caliendo for the years he’s spent with us. I, more than anyone, know how tirelessly he’s worked and how much he’s cared about making GHS athletics the best it could be. Thanks, Jim.
