Dear Wenshaw Park Neighbors,
I must thank everyone for the donations that we received. The generosity and kindness displayed by this neighborhood was truly amazing!
Yesterday I saw first hand the desperate situation down in Long Beach and can tell you that everything you have donated will be greatly appreciated. At this time, the Long Beach site will no longer be accepting clothes.
Thanks to the overwhelming response for help, they have received tons and tons of bags! If that situation changes, I will let you all know.
Hats, gloves and scarves are still needed due to the cold temperatures and approaching storm. They can be dropped off at 84 Winifred Drive in Merrick.
Again, thank you so much for all your help!

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!
