'Tuesday Club' A Time-Honored Tradition In East Hampton: Photos

EAST HAMPTON, NY — For almost 20 years, on the second Tuesday of every month, East Hampton Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach, Jr. has invited a local influential speaker to share experiences and to stimulate discussion at meetings of the "Tuesday Club."

Club members, each with six, seven or eight decades of expertise in their own fields, have heard from politicians, publishers, activists, authors and others who have had an impact on the quality of life on the East End.

Last week's speaker was Steven Ringel, executive director of the East Hampton Chamber of Commerce, who spoke about his plans for supporting and promoting local businesses, including street fairs and other events in the village.
