Unique Graduation Gifts

GET YOUR AD NOTICED! Call Our Classified Dept. 631-226-2636 press “2”

Graduation season is on the horizon. This time of year is often a frenetic time for students and their families, with the promise of celebrations to come. Graduation is preceded by prom for high schoolers, and for those bidding farewell to the hallowed halls of higher education, it may mean lastminute interviews and precommencement résumébuilding. This whirlwind of activity culminates in a degree or diploma to wrap up years spent in the classroom.

NEWS PAPE RS set up an adv ertising program for you. Y ou'll be glad you di d! Call 631-226-2636, ext. 276

Graduates have many things to look forward to this time of year, not the least of which are gifts from close friends and family. Those tasked with coming up with graduation gifts can take inspiration from these ideas that break the mold.

• Retirement account funds: Helping a new graduate get started is a popular sentiment among gift givers, but it’s also possible to give grads a leg up on the future. Helping them to fund an individual retirement account can be a

thoughtful gift. Keep in mind that parameters for IRAs differ between a traditional and a Roth IRA, and it is best to speak with a financial advisor to determine the best fit.

Starting a retirement account early on can provide solid footing for financial security later in life.

• Quality luggage: A good set of luggage can often last a person a lifetime if properly cared for. Whether the grad is taking a much-needed trip after graduation or will be traveling for his or her career, the luggage will serve well.

• Student loan interest payment: Many students must rely on federal or private loans to offset the costs of attending college or even trade schools. Although a loved one may not be able to pay off the loans in their entirety, a good gift can be to make payments toward the interest on the loans so that the bill is reduced come graduation.

• Roadside assistance service: The road may take graduates

near and far. A membership to a roadside assistance service can be a practical gift that ensures grads get from point A to point B with fewer hiccups. These services offer towing, tire changing, gas delivery, and more. Plus, they often come with additional perks, such as discounts on travel services and lodging.

• Professional course or tickets to a conference: Help support a graduate’s career growth and professional development with a subscription to a course, a book about their industry or tickets to a relevant conference or trade show.

• Travel: Grads can be treated to the gift of travel. An overseas adventure or an epic road trip across the country may be the perfect way to unwind after years of schooling. Graduates are entering an exciting time in their lives when anything is possible. Gift givers can think outside the box when shopping for their favorite capand-gown-donning loved ones.

A Message from Lindenhurst Community Cares Coalition

Prom and graduation are exciting milestones—but they’re also high-risk times for underage drinking and impaired driving. As a parent or caregiver, you play a crucial role in keeping teens safe during this season. Our mission is to raise awareness, offer resources, and promote healthy choices to prevent underage drinking and addiction in our community.

Know the Law: New York State’s Social Host Law

It is illegal for any adult (18+) to knowingly allow minors (under 21) to consume alcohol on property they own, rent, or control including homes, yards, hotels, or rental spaces. Violations can result in:

First offense: Fine up to $500

Second offense or more: Misdemeanor charge, fines up to $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail

You are required to take reasonable corrective action if you become aware of underage drinking on your property, such as asking minors to leave or contacting law enforcement.

Tips for Talking to Your Teen Before Prom

Start the conversation early and be clear about your expectations. Ask about their plans: who they’re with, where they’ll be, and how they’re getting home

Discuss real-life scenarios, like what to do if they’re offered alcohol or feel unsafe. Reassure them they can call you anytime no questions asked for a safe ride home

Smart Party Planning for Parents

Do not serve alcohol to minors it’s illegal and dangerous. Be present and aware of what’s happening in your home. Lock up alcohol, cannabis, and medications.

Communicate with other parents don’t assume everyone has the same rules.

Offer to host or support alcohol-free celebrations.

Report Unsafe Situations

To report underage drinking parties or prevent a tragedy, call your local precinct’s nonemergency number Officers can notify homeowners and review the consequences of violating the Social Host Law.

1st Precinct: 631-854-8147 | 2nd Precinct: 854-8254 | 3rd: 854-8326 | 4th: 854-8434 | 5th: 8548527 | 6th: 854-8632 | 7th: 852-8726

Let’s Make Memories, Not Mistakes

Together, we can help teens celebrate safely and make choices that lead to a brighter future. For more information, visit www.babyloncares.org, follow us on Facebook: Lindenhurst Community Cares Coalition or contact us at lindycareslcc@gmail.com
