6:30 PM – Port Jefferson Library
November meeting CANCELLED
Please be advised that the Village has called a Special Meeting regarding the Bluff on Monday, November 9, conflicting with our regularly scheduled monthly meeting, which was to feature Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico. Because the Bluff remains a central priority for our members, we are canceling our meeting and encouraging our membership to attend the Bluff update at Village Hall.
We want to extend our sincere appreciation to Supervisor Panico and his staff for graciously accommodating this scheduling conflict and agreeing to join us on January 11, 2027 instead.
6:30 PM – Port Jefferson Library
The Supervisor will provide an overview of the services the Town delivers to our community and discuss some of the major initiatives currently underway, followed by an open Q&A.
Candidates for NY State Senate and Assembly answer questions from Port Jeff Civic members and residents.
Mayor Lauren Sheprow presents a History of the Country Club Building and an update on the Bluff
Inspired by the inaugural meeting of the revived Port Jeff Civic Association in January 2023, Kathleen stepped up to serve on the board. Over the past three years, as Corresponding Secretary, she put her journalism background to work by authoring petitions, letters to the editor, and local calls to action.
Her advocacy has focused on critical Village challenges, including flooding, erosion, and over-development. To amplify these efforts, she spearheaded a Tri-Civic collaboration with neighboring leaders in Port Jefferson Station/Terryville and Three Village. This coalition successfully petitioned the Town of Brookhaven to form a Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) task force and established regular briefings with elected officials to keep local concerns front and center.
Now serving as Vice President, Kathleen remains dedicated to growing and strengthening the Civic, fostering community connections, and advocating for Port Jeff’s future.
