On behalf of the members, employees and the Board of Directors of the La Ronde Beach Club, we would like to extend our overwhelming gratitude to Officer Mark Yakaboski of the Westhampton Beach Village Police Department. His quick thinking and reaction in reporting the fire saved our club from complete destruction.
We also would like to extend our appreciation to the members of the Westhampton Beach, Quogue, East Quogue, Eastport and East Moriches fire departments, as well as the first responders. We truly admire your bravery and valor, and we are forever indebted to you.
