Town Of Babylon Celebrates Legendary Coach’s 500th Win

The Town of Babylon honored legendary Long Island boys basketball coach Jack Agostino with a proclamation for his 500th career win. Agostino achieved this momentous victory as the head coach of Amityville Memorial High School, where he has coached for 28 years.

“I have known Jack a very long time and was so glad to see him return to coach Amityville,” said Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer. “Obviously the work he does on the court is incredible,

but the impact he has on the lives of the young men in the basketball program is remarkable. Everyone in the community continually speaks highly of him.”

A New York State Basketball Hall of Famer, Agostino’s first head coaching position was at Amityville in 1987. He coached at the high school until 2014, when he stepped away from high school basketball. He returned, however, in 2021 to coach Bay Shore High School for two seasons. After an April 2022 Amityville

basketball alumni event meant to honor Agostino and his former players, he was asked by the school board if he would like to return as the Amityville head coach. He proceeded to lead the team to a successful 2023 season, including playoffs and his 500th career win.

“He is the fourth basketball coach in Long Island history to accomplish 500 wins,” said Town of Babylon Deputy Supervisor Tony Martinez. “He teachers his players how to build relationships, have confidence and

achieve success in life. He is a leader and mentor who makes a positive impact on everyone he comes into contact with.”

“The community of Amityville and Town of Babylon have blessed my heart,” said Jack Agostino. “To be here with all of you today celebrating makes it even more special.”

In addition to his impressive number of victories, Agostino has won nine Long Island titles, four state public high school championships and two state Federation titles.

Helping You Help Others

By Noelle Lambert

The Charity of the Month for April is Rebuilding Together Long Island

www.rebuildingtogether.org

Legislator Donnelly And County Office For The Aging Announce Local Senior Advocate Schedule

Rebuilding Together

Long Island (RTLI) is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Farmingdale, serving Nassau County and most of Su olk County. As an a liate of the national organization, Rebuilding Together, their mission is repairing homes, revitalizing communities and rebuilding lives.

To accomplish their vision of safe and healthy homes for everyone, they provide free essential home safety repairs and modifications for economicallydisadvantaged homeowners, whether they are older adults, veterans, families or persons with a disability or limited mobility.

The beneficiaries of RTLI’s work, lowincome homeowners struggling to get by, are so appreciative of the repairs and modifications that this organization does to keep them safe and improve their quality of life. “I was desperate,” said a widow of a Navy veteran who welcomed RTLI’s helping hand. “Now I have so much less stress and a more comfortable and safer house.”

Another recent client said, “Thank you for treating my home like it was yours. You all showed professionalism, caring and impeccable workmanship. You made my home more livable and safer. You are doing a beautiful thing and should be very proud.” These words lift the spirits of the hardworking RTLI volunteers.

Their small o ce in Farmingdale has only one employee, so their volunteers are really a significant part of what they do. “Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization,” said Stella Hendrickson, President of RTLI. “Almost all are retired. They give their time, their talents, their expertise and their hearts

to those who need a helping hand.”

The volunteer teams work tirelessly to help our neighbors, traveling throughout Long Island, using their own cars and tools. They come from all walks of life and professions, from teachers to principals, business owners, social workers, administrative assistants, accountants and truck drivers. The list goes on and on, but they all have one thing in common; their commitment to do the right thing, give back, lend a hand and be there for someone in need.

Here are ways you can get involved:

•If you know someone who may benefit from their services, have them call the RTLI o ce at 631.777.7894, Monday – Friday, to see if they qualify for the free program.

•Join the RTLI team! Volunteers can sign up at rebuildingtogetherli.org/ volunteer-today. Currently they are looking for individuals who are fluent in Spanish and for an o ce person, particularly if they are familiar with Salesforce. Additionally, if you are handy with tools, the Nassau and Su olk crew teams are always looking for more help.

•Donate at rebuildingtogetherli. org. RTLI relies on the donations of our neighbors, some grants and corporate sponsorships, as they do not receive any government funding.

•RTLI encourages local business to get involved and sponsor a project. The organization can find the right project for your business to sponsor and you can then promote your generosity on social media to show your commitment to improving the health and safety of someone in need locally.

When we work together, we can bring about transformational change quickly in our communities.

If your non-profit would like to be featured in this column,please email noellelambert@longislandmediagroup.com for consideration.

United States Air Force Thunderbirds To Headline

19th

Annual Bethpage Air Show At Jones Beach

Taking Place May 27-28, 2023

Bethpage Federal Credit Union, New York State’s largest credit union, and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, are pleased to announce that the United States Air Force

Thunderbirds will headline the 19th Annual Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach taking place on Saturday, May 27, 2023 and Sunday, May 28, 2023. This will be the demonstration team’s 9th performance at the Bethpage

Air Show.

It was announced at the annual International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) Convention yesterday that the United States Army Golden Knights Parachute Team and the United States Marine Corps F35B Lighting II will be performing, along with the world famous Skytpers, Long Island’s David Windmiller and Mike Goulian, North America’s most decorated aerobatic pilot.

“Last year, we were very grateful that the Thunderbirds changed their schedule to perform for us on Memorial Day, after the Saturday and Sunday weekend shows were rained out,” said George Gorman, Regional Director, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. “Suffice to

say, we couldn’t be happier to welcome the team back to Long Island for our 2023 show!”

“The Bethpage Air Show continues to be one of New York’s most treasured events,” said Linda Armyn, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “After 19 years, the pilots and performers, show organizers and fans have grown to become a big family. We look forward to organizing a very special show for our fans this year.”

It was also announced that the United States Navy Blue Angels will return as headliners for the special 20th Anniversary Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach, which will take place on Saturday, May 25, 2024 and Sunday, May 26, 2024.

Additional 2023 performers will be announced shortly.
