House and family meetings continued to be a mainstay at people’s homes. The people who reside at 1180 Hicksville Road were very excited to kick off their summer with a beautiful new patio set. They held their first Compass house meeting of the season enjoying the beautiful weather in their backyard.
Let’s give a hand to Gerry Accarino for being recognized as Pre-Voc’s April Artist of the Month for his wonderful military-inspired illustrations. Some of his favorite things to draw are fighter jets. Congratulations Gerry!
People who live in Bellmore baked cookies for their local fire department to say Thank you for always being there to support them and their community!
