LONG ISLAND PET EXPO MARCH 3 & 4, 2018

Go Red Gala Honorees The American Heart Association is proud to announce that The Eastern Shore (NY) Chapter of the Links, Incorporated will be honored at the American Heart Association’s 17th annual Long Island Go Red For Women Luncheon.

This year’s event will take place on Wednesday, February 28th at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury.

The Links, Incorporated

is an international, notfor-profit corporation, established in 1946.

The membership consists of nearly 15,000 professional women of color in 285 chapters located in 41 states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. It is one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations of extraordinary women

who are committed to enriching, sustaining and ensuring the culture and economic survival of African Americans and other persons of African ancestry.

Their Core Values are Friendship, Integrity, Honesty, Service, Commitment, Family Relationships, Courage, Respect for Self and Others, Legacy, Confidentiality, Responsibility, and

Accountability.

The members of The Eastern Shore (NY) Chapter of the Links, Incorporated are influential decision makers and opinion leaders. The Eastern Shore (NY) Chapter has attracted many distinguished women who are individual achievers and have made a difference in their communities and the world. They are business and civic leaders, role

models, mentors, activists and volunteers who work towards a common vision by engaging likeminded organizations and individuals for partnership.

Heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 5 killers of Long Island women.

Most women don’t notice the symptoms of heart disease until it’s too late. That’s why heart disease has been called the silent killer.

For information about sponsorship opportunities, ticket or table reservations, or other questions, call 516.962.0811 or visit longislandgoredluncheon. heart.org.

HOPE CHILDREN’S FUND

Hope Children’s Fund is an international non-profit that operates with the motto “Education Is Key.” For children in Kenya, this couldn’t be more true. Without an education and the ability to speak English, these children often lack the opportunity to rise above fetching water and cutting wood. Kevin Mann, Vice President of Hope Children’s Fund, explained, “The government in Kenya doesn’t have the resources to take care of the children in their country like the United States government does.” It is not shocking to see a very young child in Kenya hopelessly wandering the streets without family...hungry and just trying to survive. Hope Children’s Fund does something about this problem.

In 2001, Hope Children’s Fund registered as a nonprofit and raised $40,000 through donations – precisely enough money to begin construction on an orphanage that stands high up on a hill in Meru, Kenya. By 2005, the orphanage opened and began transforming lives for children, many of whom had lost their parents in the AIDS epidemic.

This orphanage, Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children’s Fund Home, has a dining hall and a dormitory for boys and girls. It provides the children with shelter, steady meals and the opportunity to attend school. The children are shown family values and given chores to complete in order for them to gain life skills. They currently house 100 children and have had many success stories. If you would like to be part of another one of their success stories, you can!

There are 22 orphans who still need to be sponsored through Hope Children’s Fund’s sponsorship program - $1/day or $365/year will help send these children to school so they have a better chance

to succeed. Below, you will see a photo of Ian Mugambi, a 12 year-old boy in need of a sponsor. Ian lost his mother and sister and currently resides at this orphanage in Meru. For further details on mentoring Ian or another child, please contact Aida Mann at AidaMann@optonline.com. Upon sponsorship, you will receive a photo and bio of the child you chose to sponsor.

You will be able to write letters or send e-mails directly to the child to provide them with hopeful messages! Kevin and Aida often travel to visit the orphanage and welcome sponsors to come along so they can meet firsthand the child they sponsor.

Growing up on Long Island, I realize it is easy to be misled into thinking everyone lives as we do, but that is not the case.

Ian is much more than just someone in the photo on this page; he is one of many people across the world who is reaching out for help. Although there are plenty of ways we can spend $1 a day, using that money to mentor a child in need is truly a priceless experience!

By: John McGowan

In the midst of my pain, I reached for something not there Yet I felt a presence previously unaware Faith had dwindled with each passing ache Yet I held on to the Spirit within me awake There is a fight each of us must endure Like floating through a wall and finding a cure What was it that carried me above the midst of my pain?

Doubtless a Force, one hard to explain.

Let the Poem Chime By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

Is there music in my written words?

Can a poem cause or eliminate hurt?

Expressing emotions is a fine-tuned art Good poetry comes straight from the heart.

Just to rhyme or synchronize words will not do A definite jolt needs to explode inside of you.

To have value, a poem must touch like musical sound Built by vibrations that only in the soul are found.

With poetry, we will live a life painted by emotion Words well minced are stronger than any potion.

A stranger miraculously can set your heart on fire It is that, what about poetry I most admire.

Ian Mugambi ~ 12 years old

The Moon, The Stars ... and Me Stop trying. Do something.

those in elementary school are now being challenged beyond their years in order to stay ahead of the competition.

Heck, some pre-schools now require a rigorous admissions process; certainly quite different than the days of nap time and snack time, broken up by a few hours of coloring and piecing together puzzles.

Once upon a time, effort was all that counted.

Intentions meant everything.

Not anymore. Now, it is all about results. Anything less is simply not good enough. No such thing as a participation trophy. It’s been put back on the shelf, along with all the self-congratulatory pats on The idealist in me still the back, the high fives and that winning the toasts to the wonders of believes isn’t everything. There is skating through life. something to be said for Maybe this is how it should giving it your all and taking have been from the beginning. steps toward a goal. Especially Perhaps we never should have as an adult, free from the been lulled into a sense of confines of the classroom complacency that our “A” or the neighborhood ball achievements are game was sufficient, not when field, it wasn’t enough to win.

Even a moment’s notice. There

is something to be said for having a specialty, to be sure; but the ability to multitask and to demonstrate versatility is gaining importance in nearly every field.

The way I see it, everything is a work in progress until you’ve chosen to give up.

There are days when it is more difficult to persevere, times when the “sure bet” seems to be quitting while you’re not too far behind. But where’s the satisfaction in that?

Minimizing damage only goes so far. At a certain point, we all need to take the leap. We must choose to forge ahead, or fall behind. I don’t think anyone would prefer the latter. Close your eyes and jump.

As the saying goes... Shoot for the moon... Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.

A Unique Boutique with a Selfless Cause Amanda Munz, founder of The Fashion Foundation, started a non-profit in 2014 to sell fashion apparel at a reasonable price and, more importantly, to help provide students with school supplies.

As someone who has always loved fashion, Amanda decided to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising, she went on to receive a Master’s degree in Public Administration.

While getting her feet wet in the fashion industry, she constantly took note of people throwing fashion apparel in the garbage, as well as samples building up that designers didn’t know what to do with. This inspired her to start The Fashion Foundation, where she utilizes those pieces by selling them at a reasonable price, and then pays it forward by using the profits earned to purchase school supplies for students to help them succeed.

Today, Munz runs a showroom in Farmingdale, as well as a pop-up showroom in Manhattan, where new apparel can be purchased for a fraction of its retail cost. Many items are also available for purchase on her website, www.TheFashionFoundation.org. To this day, she has received thousands of pieces from fashion companies and helped countless students succeed. The Fashion Foundation has purchased clean uniforms, notebooks, art

Established a few years

Audubon Society Happenings

cupcakes, hearts, cherubs and messages such as “Happy Valentine’s Day” and “Be My Valentine.”

Third- through fifth-grade students wrote acrostic poems using the letters in “heart” to warm residents’ hearts and let them know Central Boulevard is thinking about them.

Grant Winner Old Country Road Elementary School’s thirdgrade teacher Christine Palmieri in the Hicksville School District is the recipient of a Target Field Trip Grant for the second

consecutive year.

To enhance their science curriculum, this grant will pay for the entire third-grade class to take a field trip to the Queens Zoo. At the zoo, students

will engage in a handson instructional program about mammals and observe animals in their natural habitat.

The same three Scioly teams combined to win 10 first-place medals, 7 second-place medals and seven third-place medals.

Overall the three teams finished first-, fourth- and sixth-place, dethroning the 10-year champion host school in the process.

In January Scioly won an additional three medals at the highly competitive Fairfax High School Invitational in Fairfax, Virginia.

Science Olympiads provide challenges in various STEM disciplines, exposing students to

practicing scientists and career choices, as well as dynamic content experiences. Scioly is one of Syosset High School’s largest extracurricular group, with approximately 75 members.

“Although we are well known for our academic achievements, this club has proven to be so much more than just an assembly of very bright young minds. Rather, it is a family,” said Scioly coach/ adviser Mildred Castañeda, now in her second year with Scioly. “I feel as though we have developed an incredible bond with each other. Last school year, we made so many memories that I am even more excited about what is taking place this year.”

Participants will have an opportunity to prove their mettle and their compassion by diving into the chilly waters of Tobay Beach to raise funds for the athletes of Special Olympics New York.”

Each year, Special Olympics New York Polar Plunges are held throughout the state to attract thousands of chilled souls to engage in

a fun and commendable fundraising event. All funds support Special Olympics New York’s programs and promote awareness of people living with intellectual disabilities in New York.

Town Councilman Louis Imbroto, who also took the plunge at last year’s event, stated, “Special Olympics New York changes lives through the joy of sports and the Town of Oyster

Bay is proud to partner with this outstanding organization to help make this event a success.”

The Polar Plunge helps Special Olympics New York provide yearround sports training and competition in over 22 Olympic-style sports for more than 71,889 children and adults with intellectual disabilities living in New York, giving them continuing

opportunities at no cost to them or their families.

Their philosophy is “Let me Win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt!” Visit www. p o l a r p l u n g e N Y. o r g / tobay for registration information, call 631.458.4078 or e-mail jcantone@nyso.org.

On Tuesday, February 13th, residents in the Syosset Central School District approved Proposition No. 1, the Facilities Improvement Plan, of the district’s bond referendum by a vote of 821 yes to 292 no. Residents also approved Proposition No. 2 of the referendum, the Enhanced Safety and Energy Efficiency Plan, by a vote of 909 yes to 204 no.

“The Board of Education and administration thank the community for their continued support,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas Rogers. “The work included in both propositions will not only preserve the community’s investment in our schools, but will also address the items identified in our Five-Year Buildings Condition Survey, renovate our facilities and improve the quality of education for our students into the future.”

Proposition No. 1

includes remodeling science classrooms and research labs at Syosset High School; renovating the high school’s athletic complex, including replacing the athletic field and adding a new eightlane track, relocating the softball field, and adding outdoor bathrooms and two additional tennis courts; addressing traffic safety issues at Baylis, Berry Hill and Walt Whitman elementary schools and Syosset High School; enclosing walkways at the South Grove Annex and the high school for enhanced security; installing air conditioning in all classrooms throughout the district and in the auditoriums at Harry B. Thompson and South Woods middle schools and Syosset High School; and replacing the weight room at Syosset High School to include additional bathrooms, locker rooms and a security corridor.
