Saladino And Town Board
To Collect DVDs For U.S. Troops & Children’s Hospitals
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announced a partnership with Massapequa-based “Big Hy for Heroes” to collect DVDs for those deployed and serving overseas in the United States Armed Forces, as well as movies for children’s hospitals. Donations will be accepted during the month of November and then delivered to Chaplains, Commanding Officers, Sergeant Majors and Sergeants around the globe to distribute to troops and arrange movie nights this holiday season.
Supervisor Saladino stated, “The Town of Oyster
Bay is proud to partner with Big Hy for Heroes for our Annual DVD Collection Drive and send thousands of DVDs to troops serving around the globe as well as to children receiving care in local hospitals. Help support these brave men, women and children by donating DVDs.”
The Big Hy for Heroes organization was founded in 2002 by Massapequa resident and WWII veteran Hyman Strachman who, along with his son Arthur Strachman, personally began sending DVDs to U.S. troops overseas. Over the years, Big Hy for Heroes has shipped hundreds of thousands of
DVDs all around the world and continues to do so today.
Exciting, suspenseful, comedy and classic DVDs are among the most requested by the troops for movie nights. Children’s movies are needed for local hospitals. Residents can donate DVDs at any of the following locations, weekdays from 9am to 4:45pm:

Town Encourages Residents To Help ‘Shut The Door On Hunger’
Oyster Bay Town Councilman Tom Hand encourages residents to help ‘Shut the Door on Hunger’ for residents who face food insecurities. The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to participate with the Women’s Club of Farmingdale in a food collection drive at the Farmingdale Public Library. Now through December 6th , residents can drop off nonperishable food items at the library on Fridays, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
“During the school year, when schools are open, students that qualify
receive a free breakfast and lunch. However, when the district is closed for holidays and school breaks, food insecurity for those students intensifies,” explained Councilman Hand.
“The Women’s Club of Farmingdale created a program to help ‘shut down hunger’ by providing non-perishable food items and/or gift cards to local food stores to ensure all local children have access to the healthy food they need every day to thrive until schools open again.”
Specific foods requested include:
• Boxed milk

Volunteer Group Raises $250,000 - Sponsors 41 Service Dogs To Assist Vets
A local group of 30 dedicated volunteers just surpassed the $250,000 donated milestone, sponsoring 41 highly trained service dogs thus far to assist our Veterans and first responders in need.
“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” was established in 2015 with the sole mission of helping our Veterans
have a better life by getting them a service dog free of charge. The all-volunteer non-profit community service group does this through America’s Vet Dogs, a 501c3 located in Smithtown.
Each dog sponsored by the group, which was founded by Sayville residents Cliff Miller and
Patricia Summers, is carefully named to honor an unsung hero of our military, someone who brought great credit to our military, or to recognize someone / someplace that significantly helped a Veteran in need. One of the group’s sponsored dogs, Sully, served President George H. W. Bush until his
death, and now continues to serve Veterans every day at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“Friends of America’s Vet Dogs” was honored by the staff and CEO of America’s Vet Dogs John Miller at their Smithtown facility this week for reaching the $250,000 milestone. There
are 30 active members of the group, which raises awareness and funding for the crucial service with an annual Chinese Auction event, hosting information tables at community events, holding other fundraiser events and by speaking at local libraries, labor uMembers of the group are hopeful they will be able to
sponsor their 42nd service dog by year’s end. They can be reached by writing to: Friends of America’s Vet Dogs, Attention Cliff Miller, PO Box 18, Bohemia, NY 11716-0018 or by email at vetdogs@ aol.com Donations are tax deductible and checks should be made payable to America’s Vet Dogs.

Seaford Junior Shadow Architects wIn Career Exploration
With a dream of becoming an architect, Seaford High School junior Andrew Konik got a look into the profession of planning and designing buildings. In October, he was invited to attend shadow day at H2M, a Melville-based architectural and engineering firm.
The four-hour event, with about 20 other students from Long Island, allowed him to gain insight into the field. During an icebreaker activity, he and a small group of peers did an engineering challenging to build a spaghetti tower that could hold a marshmallow at the top. Following “day in the life” presentations, an office tour and a pizza lunch, he then got to shadow one of H2M’s architects.
Andrew found out about the opportunity from his guidance counselor, Suzanne Cosenza. During his time at the H2M office, he learned about the firm’s past and current projects, getting to see blueprints, rendering and photos. There was also time for questions, in which Andrew asked about the daily responsibilities of an architect and the types of projects they work on.
“I got to see what I can do in the future, and now I’m even more interested in being an architect,” he said. “It was really fun and it was a whole new experience for me.”
Describing himself as “crafty and creative,” Andrew has been interested in architecture since eighth grade and said his
specific interest is designing the outside of buildings. In the spring semester, he will take the high school’s Architectural Computer Aided Drawing class.
Andrew, who attended Seaford Harbor Elementary School, in involved in several clubs at the high school, including Best Buddies, the Culture Club and Stage Crew.
Principal Nicole Schnabel commended Andrew for taking advantage of an onsite experience to learn more about a prospective career.
“This is one of the most impactful ways to start making a connection to a career you might be interested in,” she said.

Did You Know?
Trends come and go, and that impermanence can make it hard to predict how certain times of year, including the holiday season, will play out. However, one notable trend in regard to the holiday season that has seemingly withstood the test of time is the popularity of Black Friday among holiday shoppers. But even that dynamic has shifted in the digital age. Though Black Friday remains a big day for retailers, consumers spend more on Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving) than they do on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving).
