Among the highlights of the September 21 meeting of the Greater Long Island Running Club was the presentation of checks to the Long Island chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation, and the Oyster Bay-based environmental group Friends of the Bay, all from the proceeds of the 2004 Vytra-TOBAY Triathlon. The checks were presented by Running Club Vice President Mindy Davidson, who served as the Coordinator of Volunteers for the Vytra-TOBAY Triathlon. Rob Walker, Deputy Parks Commissioner of the Town of Oyster Bay, was also on hand to assist in the presentation of the checks.

"We are thrilled to once again be able to utilize a major portion of the net proceeds of this year's Vytra-TOBAY Triathlon to three such important charities," observed Running Club Vice President Davidson.

"We are proud and privileged to join with the great folks at Vytra and the Town of Oyster Bay to support the wonderful work being done by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation, and to make a contribution to the 'Friends of the Bay, as our small way of giving back for the privilege of swimming in Oyster Bay harbor and running and biking in the communities that abut the harbor."
