RING 8 Picnic was Enjoyed By ALL!
Hot and Muggy weather did not keep the Ring 8 members from enjoying a day out at our Annual Ring 8 Picnic, held at Brady Park in Massapequa Park, Long Island. Good Food and games was enjoyed by the crowd.
Horse-shoes, shuffleboard and bocci ball seemed to be the most favorite among the attendees, but of course boxing news was always in order. Ring 8 would like to thank Sequa Deli Caterers for their fine service.
All chipped in to help but special Thanks goes out to Bob and Mary Duffy and their daughters, Roseann Norkus and her Family Paul. Anthony, Tiana for lugging the hardware to the party and Robert O’Connell for his much needed help also.
We all hope to see everyone next year for another good time.
