Chairperson’s Message: Tom Calabrese
My love of Caumsett State Historic Park led to my involvement in the Caumsett Foundation. Spending time in the park, usually twice a week, I recognized it as a rare treasure on Long Island. I became committed to its preservation and protection, especially in light of encroaching development in our surrounding areas. It is my goal to revitalize the park for increasing numbers of visitors to enjoy while also ensuring that it remains a place of beauty for generations to come. Fortunately, I have the help of a talented and cohesive board, an energetic and dedicated park manager, and supportive and knowledgeable state administrators. I especially want to acknowledge the incredible leadership of our past chairperson, Lynn Gundersen, who has given so much time and love to Caumsett. She will continue to be a major force in helping to ensure the future preservation of the park. I hope you will read about our many accomplishments on our web-site, especially the over $1 million we raised last year from benefits, memberships and grants. As our partnership with the state strengthens, you will be seeing more improvements in the park. We look forward to working with newly elected officials, including Commissioner Carol Ash, to ensure that this partnership continues to flourish. We also need your support so that the Caumsett Foundation can accomplish the many daunting tasks that lie ahead. Just by visiting the park and taking in its many diverse environments, I know you will share my commitment to this unique gem right in our own backyard.
