Part of OMAC's mission is to promote and nurture active recreation. We have done more than hold, sponsor and underwrite group, school and individual athletes and ahtletic events. We have attempted to raise public awareness to the importance of sports and athletics in a healthy society.
We have helped with committee work on the East Hampton Town Comprehensive Plan. We are continuing to urge the Town to complete each phase of this plan and lending our resources where possible. We have attended Town meetings, sometimes in force, to urge the creation of public spaces for the various sports uses. The fields off Stephan Hands Path are just one result of the Town responding to such needs. The YMCA has become an official partner with us on swimming and track programs. We believe that we have made a positive difference.
OMAC's Award's Committee chose Olympian Amanda Clark as OMAC's 2008 Outstanding Athlete of the Year. The incomparable Howard Lebwith is the unanimous pick for Community Service Award for 2008. OMAC's Awards Dinner will be held at Della Femina's Restaurant on Monday, December 8th starting at 6 P.M. East Hampton YMCA Master's Swim team & East Hampton Town Ocean Rescue Squad plan to join us for the festivities. Ben Turnball received OMAC's 2007 Outstanding Athlete of the Year Award. OMAC presented its Community Service Award in the area of athletics, health and fitness to Barbara Gubbins in 2007.
Thanks to many of our outstanding sponsors. They make it possible for us to put on sports events and support active recreation in the Town of East Hampton. We urge all our members to patronize these sponsors whenever possible.
