On that day that their community was affected by a downtown fire, the Northport-East Northport stepped up by contributing $1,000 to a fund raiser to help the affected tenants.
An early morning fire on May 23 on Main Street gutted Gunther’s Tap Room, the legendary Northport bar once the favored haunt of Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac, with the four apartments above the stores gutted also, fire officials said. The tenants lost everything.
Club President Jim McKenna called the club's board members the day of the fire and got approval to donate $1,000 to help the tenants recover.
