SAFE SURFING - Lindenhurst Lodge

This information was recently forwarded regarding community relations and the Safe Surfing program.

Our lodge has started to set up Internet Safety Training presentations using the Safe Surfing Program.
There have been 2 presentations, done off site, so far with a few more to be scheduled.
We are looking forward to setting up a presentation to be held in our Lodge for the entire Community.

Attached are photos and below is the report of the first 2 presentations.
I will provide the date of the Lodge Community Presentation when it is set.

Thank you,
Paul LaMartina

Dear Brother Administrator,

I wanted to report on the Safe Surfing presentations that was done recently.

I had contacted the Safe Surfing Organization who had sent me the presentations on disc. Once the separate presentations were reviewed and
tested, then I started contacting groups to observe the Presentations.

On December 14th, the High School Presentation was done for Venturing Crew 2021. This crew is comprised of 20 High School and Junior College co-ed students. It was well received and spurred on several conversations afterwards about how to better protect themselves from on-line predators.

On January 12th, the Community Presentation was done for the Sagtikos District Boy Scout Roundtable. This is a meeting of the Boy Scout Leaders of the 40 troops and crews that service the communities of the Town of Babylon and the Town of Islip. It was held at the West Islip Middle School and we had about 38 leaders in attendance. The Community Presentation is a mix of all of the age appropriate presentations, 1st Grade, 5th Grade, Middle School and High School. It was well received and it got the message across. Several leaders did come up to me afterwards and ask about presentations for their units.

As these come in and get scheduled, I will keep you informed. There are a couple of photos attached of the presentation at the Roundtable.
It is a great idea to combine this message with the Scouting program as both organizations are designed to protect and nurture our youth.

Yours in Fraternalism,
Brother Paul LaMartina
