Long-standing member Dr. John Chinnici brought to our attention a wonderful program his wife, Mary, and Central Islip High School teacher, Frank Lepore helped launch.  T.O.E.S., an acronym for "transitioning our exceptional students", pairs students with business owners to enable the minors to gain much needed experience in the business world.  Mrs. Chinnici, Mr. Lepore, the interning students and those Rotarians and other local business owners who sponsored the students were recently honored in a luncheon held at the Irish Coffee Pub.  Each participating student was presented with a certificate from Dr. Chinnici and Rotary President, Andrea Rubin-de-Cervens. Also on hand were Rotarian and Suffolk County Legislator Tom Cilmi,  Imageand Islip Town Supervisor Thomas Croci, who presented Proclamations to Mrs. Chinnici and Mr. Lepore. The business owners were also presented certificates of appreciation by Dr. Franklin Caesar and Mr. Enrico Crocetti, of Central Islip School District. Additional pictures can be found in the T.O.E.S. photo album.
