Mattituck News: Alumni soccer game scheduled for July
As local schools prepare for this year’s graduations, former graduates are gearing up for reunions.
Mattituck High School’s Class of 1994 has exciting plans for the weekend of July 12-13. At 9:30 a.m. on the 12th, all MHS graduates are invited to join an alumni soccer game at Cutchogue East Elementary School. Registration and payment of fees will take place on site. At 4 p.m. classmates from 1994 head to Bedell Cellars and at 9 p.m. the festivities continue at Legends. If these events don’t suit your schedule, pick up an egg sandwich at one of our local delis and head to New Suffolk beach Sunday morning for “breakfast at the bay” and say farewell or reconnect with old friends. For more information, contact Dana (Friemann) Lehnert at [email protected] or Sue (Finora) McKenna at [email protected] or visit the Class of 1994 reunion page on Facebook.
Having a child become a doctor would make any parent proud, but having two doctors in the family must be indescribable. Jacqueline Papadopoulos graduated last week from NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine. The ceremony’s highlight is when each graduate receives an academic hood from another doctor. In this case, Jackie’s brother, Dr. Christopher Papadopoulos, had the honor of putting on her hood. Christopher is a resident in anesthesiology in NYC. Jacqueline will do her pediatric residency in Albany. Congratulations to Jacqueline and her parents, Dimitri and Alexandra.
Birthdays ending May and kicking off June will be celebrated by Frankie Benedetto, Stacey Moyer, Dr. Jay Slotkin, Richie Koch, Christian Montgomery, Dot Nine, Lucas Sisson, Eric Koch, Aidan Carter, Wendy Zuhoski, Anne Bruno, Matt Wilsberg, Michael Lentini and Jeff Smith.

Please pass the word to anyone you know who may have been involved in these organizations and RSVP to [email protected].
