Bridget Reilly Costello joined Camp Pa Qua Tuck in 2009 as the Summer Director. In 2010, she became the Executive Director. In April, 2019 Bridget retired from her position at the Camp but was delighted that the Board of Directors embraced her idea of P/T work promoting the camp as she eased her way into retirement.

Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals
Sep. 03, 2019 12:15 p.m.
1. Speaker Bio: Susan E. Prensky: Spent 15 years organizing low-income service workers from NJ to Boston . This experience taught her the need, and general unavailability of meaningful access to the courts for poor and working people. In 1998 she took on the lead role as Operations Manager of New York State Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals (CCLP). She has been a professional volunteer organizer for over 38 years. Peggy Foy, Esq.: A member of NYS CCLP Board of Directors, Ms. Foy is a long-time resident of Suffolk County and graduate of Touro Law School. She has been a practicing attorney for over 25 years, with a concentration in family law and criminal defense. She currently volunteers with CCLP providing pro bono legal advice and speaking at “Know Your Law” sessions. 2. Mission and topic of the speaker: Topic: What a difference meaningful access to legal recourse makes in the lives of low-income people. Mission: COALITION OF CONCERNED LEGAL PROFESSIONALS (CCLP) is an all-volunteer, non-government funded association of legal professionals who work with organizations whose members find gaining access to legal recourse increasingly difficult. Volunteer attorneys assisted by lay volunteer advocates provide free of charge legal advice to members of organizations of service workers, temporary workers, independent contractors, manual laborers and other low-income workers without job protections, struggling to survive in today’s “gig” economy. Volunteer lawyers also conduct free-of-charge “Know Your Law” information sessions for membership organizations on areas of law including employment rights, wage theft, immigration, debt and credit issues and landlord-tenant law. Through these sessions, CCLP has benefited thousands: we have saved homes from foreclosure; prevented evictions; won back wages owed, but not paid; assisted with immigration problems; protected people from consumer debt they did not owe and more. As volunteer advocates guide those making requests for assistance through the process of resolving legal problems, participants are united to build organizational solutions in their communities, utilizing an array of activities to publicize their efforts and contact all those affected by the problem – Including the legal sessions; production of posters, fliers and other publications; letter writing, phone calls and presentations at public hearings, in classrooms at universities, unions, churches and other organizations. For information or to find out about volunteering, please call CCLP today, at (212) 791-1364.

The Motivation Method: Strategies for Unstoppable Motivation
Nov. 26, 2019 12:15 p.m.
The Motivation Method: Strategies for Unstoppable Motivation Before she was a motivational maven, Corrie LoGiudice experienced this often. In a span of 4 years, she experienced miscarriage, abuse, divorce and suicide loss. What she’s learned through her own experience is growth stagnates when you don’t change your strategy to accommodate your current reality. She eventually figured out that there are 5 areas that if out of alignment will slow your motivation. When she strategized how to address the imbalances, both hers and her client's motivation becomes unstoppable. She calls it the Motivation Method, and in this talk she summaries how it works and how you can start using it today. This keynote is humorous, honest, and motivational. The audience will not only be captivated but will leave the event feeling more confident in their own abilities and prepared to go get their goals. Corrie LoGiudice is a motivational strategist & speaker, host, influencer and motivational maven. She’s a former SVP, single mom, and survivor of miscarriage, divorce, abuse & suicide loss. She utilized her trauma to fuel her motivation instead of set her back, and now teaches others to do the same.
