'The Tuesday Club' Welcomes Distinguished Guest

There's a club on the East End born of mutual respect, professional ties — and decades of friendship.

On Tuesday — of course — Steven J. Kuehhas, Undersheriff, County of Suffolk, was guest speaker at the most recent meeting of The Tuesday Club.

He shared insight into the County Sheriff's Department, including its hierarchy and the county jail system. In attendance at the gathering, which took place this month at the Princess Diner in Southampton, was East Hampton Village Mayor Paul Rickenbach, Jr.

The Tuesday Club was founded 47 years ago by "a group of congenial South Fork gentlemen attempting to gather individuals who enjoyed a continuing interest in their local towns and villages, their state, their country, and the world at large. Over the years, the Tuesday Club members have gathered at a series of informal monthly lunches, on which occasions local and national spokesmen presented thoughts and ideas of common interest to the assembled members," members said.

The group, comprised of mainly retirees, share life experiences, insight, and strong bonds of friendship.
