“It is so important for us to provide our senior citizens with the assistance and information they need in ways that are most convenient to them. These visits allow our seniors to connect with our County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,” said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”
This fall, Senior Advocates will be visiting the following locations in the Town of Babylon:

“I’m saving about $1,800 a year in energy costs with LED lighting.”*
—Guy Brogna, All Music Inc, Plainview
Meet Guy. He’s a local small business owner, rock bassist, and fan of LEDs. It didn’t hurt that he got $5,900 in rebates to replace his store’s old lighting with energy-efficient fixtures.* He says his store and his guitars look great in the new LED glow. And, with the monthly energy cost savings, he couldn’t be happier.

Third Grade Essays Honor Veterans
Remaining Socially Engaged

Visit eldercare.acl.gov or call (888) 677-1116 to get connected to a nearby agency that can provide muchneeded support, right in the community.
THIRD GRADE ESSAYS HONOR VETERANS - Third graders in Dan Sliwowski’s class at Great Neck Road Elementary School in the Copiague School District went on a safari adventure during a recent literacy unit on animal adaptations. The students have been studying different animals and learning about the adaptations they make to survive. Working collaboratively in small groups, they were assigned four animals to explore: an elephant, a hyena, a giraffe and a lion. The third graders then conducted research on their Chromebooks, using Kiddle, a kid-friendly search engine, to identify an adaptation for each animal and how it helps them survive.
