September 13, 2023 Massapequa Park

The Dance/Music Performance Company members continue to serve the community performing for and offering dance instruction to learning disabled students throughout the Town Of Oyster Bay. With the approach that "everyone can learn", students of varying abilities get to enjoy the performing arts.

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

Oyster Bay Town

Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Laura Maier invite residents to participate in the Town of Oyster Bay’s 15th Annual

“Walk for Autism” at Burns Park in Massapequa on Saturday, September 23rd. The walk will benefit Advantage Care Health Center’s Fay J. Lindner Center for Autism & Developmental Disabilities, one of the leading treatment and outpatient assessment programs for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Supervisor Saladino said, “We are pleased to once again host this event to benefit the Fay J. Linder Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities,

which offers the highest quality, state-of-the-art clinical services to people with Autism Spectrum disorders. From hosting social skill development groups to assisting with medicine management and educating community organizations, Advantage Care Health Center does truly outstanding work in our Town that we invite all residents to support through this walk.”

Registration for the event begins at 10 a.m., with the walk commencing at 11 a.m. and a tailgate party immediately following. The registration fee is $10 for individuals and $25 for families. All registrants will receive entrance to the

post-walk tailgate party with refreshments and free T-shirts while supplies last.

Councilwoman Maier added, “It is estimated that 1 in every 54 children in the United States are affected by Autism, and early diagnosis leads to an increased ability to help through intervention services. That’s why this walk is so important, as it increases both education and awareness while bringing our community together.”

YES Community Counseling Center Launches Safe Summer Program, In Partnership With Morgan Stanley

While the summer conjures images of children creating lasting and carefree memories, for many children who experience chronic stress, live in an unsafe environment, experience chronic stress, or lack financial resources, the summer months can be a time of sadness and isolation. Living in a household where poverty, family turmoil, abuse, parental illness or addiction exists may lead to children lacking appropriate supervision and healthy connections when school is not in session. While many of the local school districts offer low cost camp and recreational opportunities over the summer months, many families cannot afford these expenses.

Made possible by Morgan Stanley, YES Community Counseling Center launched a Safe Summer Program in which 13 youth from the surrounding

communities were able to attend local camps and recreation programs, who would not have had the opportunity to do so due to financial hardship. Research demonstrates that environmental protective factors can prevent the onset of mental health challenges and early initiation of substance use for children and teens.

“As we know, prevention is far more effective than intervening in response to the onset of emotional and behavioral symptoms that a child may demonstrate without the proper support,” said Adrienne LoPresti, Executive Director of YES. One mother who was able to enroll her children in karate and dance classes shared “The kindness you showed and the happiness you brought to my family will never be forgotten. One day, rather sooner than later, I promise to pay forward.”

Many of the families who have received support from YES over the years have overcome the challenges they once faced and decided to give back to others who now need help. In the spirit of Morgan Stanley’s core value of giving back to the community, Stephen Parmiter, Senior Vice President and member of the Parmiter Group expresses, “We are excited to work with YES to provide children in need with the opportunities that they deserve.” In addition, Morgan Stanley staff volunteers worked with YES staff to create “coping boxes” for the program recipients and other children who attend YES programs. The coping box acts as an emotional tool kit, with items that the children can rely on for self-soothing, comfort, and grounding when they are home or feeling unsafe.

YES and Morgan Stanley

hope to maintain and expand upon this program. As a community-based, non-profit organization, YES initiates programs

based upon the emerging needs of youth and families, supported by the generosity of community members, groups, and businesses. If

you would like to support this effort or would like to learn more about YES programs and services, please visit www.yesccc.org

Foundation partnered to host an Overdose Memorial Service and Remembrance Ceremony. The families and friends of those lost to addiction gathered together to honor their loves ones and commit to building awareness of the opioid epidemic.

“We honor the loved ones who we have lost to addiction and overdose in the ongoing opioid epidemic,” Town Councilman Steve Labriola said. “We remember them

as mothers, fathers, daughters, sons and friends. We remember their smiles, their laughs and the love we have for them. We cherish the time we had, and wish we had more of it.”

Councilman Labriola especially recognized Janice Talento, Chairwoman of Drug Free Long Island, for her tireless efforts to make a difference, and also discussed the Town’s

efforts to save lives. Public Safety Officers and other employees are trained to administer the overdose reversal agent known as Narcan, and the Town hosts seminars for residents to learn the warning signs of drug addiction and obtain information on available treatment options. The Town also raises awareness through multiple initiatives, and works with police to take down dealers operating out of houses.
