Friends of Connetquot is a 501(C)3 charitable organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the 3,473-acre Connetquot River State Park Preserve, formerly the historic South Side Sportsmen’s Club. Since 1977, the Friends have been at the forefront of many exciting projects to restore its historic structures and conserve its pristine landscape. Now celebrating our 27th Anniversary, we are planning for our annual fundraiser to be held on December 5th at The Snapper Inn in Oakdale. This is our major fundraiser, and we hope to have many fine gifts as raffle and auction prizes. We do hope you will help us!
