Farmingville, NY – On November 13, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (left) attended the Sound Beach Civic Association (SBCA) meeting where she had the pleasure to honor SBCA member Patrice Perreca (center). A long-time resident of Sound Beach, Patrice has been a Civic Board member for the past 6 years. Currently she serves as the SBCA Membership Chair and has volunteered her time and talent for many community events and projects. Also pictured is Patrice’s husband, James Perreca (right).
At a recent SBCA meeting, Patrice learned about a proposal by the Rocky Point Rotary Club to “plant” a peace pole on the grounds of a local school. This activity led her to become passionately involved in the International Cities of Peace movement. Recently, she was instrumental in getting a peace pole installed in Sound Beach. She then joined the steering committee for the Rotary Club’s “Corridor of Peace” Project, which seeks to make the Route 25 and Route 25A corridor an International City of Peace. Patrice is also a member of the Rotary Club and a long-time supporter of Hope Children’s Fund and Sound Beach Property Owners. She volunteers as co-beach commissioner, oversees maintenance at the East Beach, and runs the trash and treasure event among her many volunteer efforts in the community.
The SBCA is a domestic, not-for-profit organization founded in 1974 and dedicated to advancing activities that improve the quality of life in Sound Beach. To learn more, go to www.SoundBeachCivic.org or visit Sound Beach Civic on Facebook.
