Hempstead Town employees are fortunate enough to be represented by CSEA Local 880 which host a very popular Health Fair for members each year. Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti and I stopped by the Health Fair to thank the Union board for putting together such a beneficial event that highlights the many resources that are available to the membership. Several of the employees were happy to tell me about how much they enjoyed the event which included some great giveaways from the vendors.

I was honored to be asked to recognize James and Frances San Filippo, of Levittown on the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary! Married on October 9, 1976, Jim and Frances moved to Levittown in 1987 and raised 3 children and now have 5 grandchildren. This couple is epitomizes community service- Jim is the president of Levittown Soccer Club and Frances is the treasurer of and a volunteer with the Wantagh Levittown Ambulance Corp. It was wonderful to not only recognize 50 years of their love but also to commemorate what they have done in those 50 years and how many others have benefitted from the life they built together! Congratulations on your Golden Anniversary! May you have many more beautiful years together!

Councilwoman Laura Ryder and I attended EGP's 10th Annual Fall Fest at EGP Oceanside to support 7-year old Gus Grillo this weekend. Gus was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in February of this year and has since been dealing with intense treatment and incredibly difficult challenges. Through it all, Gus has shown incredible strength and resilience. At this event, community members were able to enjoy live music, raffles, a pumpkin patch, crafts, face painting and more while raising money for this incredible young boy.
