From the Glen Cove Age Friendly Team:

In anticipation of the hot weather expected for this Thursday, the Walk with a Doc in-person event has moved indoors to the Glen Cove Boys and Girls Club at 113 Glen Cove Ave, Glen Cove 11542 (see flyer for the updated information on location, parking, and registration).

The event will take place from 9-10:30 AM, where Dr. Keber will give a talk on "Understanding Arthritis" and then take a walk indoors. Masks and water will be available.

Welcome our newest Board Member, Kathleen Santucci: 

"I am a Community Liaison for Glen Cove Center for Nursing and Rehab and Emerge Nursing and Rehab at Glen Cove since May 2019. I work to form relationships within the community to help raise awareness about both facilities, and to provide education and resources to primarily the senior population within the community. Our facilities are both short-term sub-acute rehabilitation and nursing facilities. Both facilities offer the same therapeutic services, but Emerge has a specialized Neuro Rehabilitation Program and Glen Cove Center offers a specialized Cardio Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. I help bridge the gap between the community and our two facilities."

"I am a resident of Locust Valley for the past 28 years and have worked at Friends Academy, Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club and the Locust Valley School District.

I am the current Treasurer of the Locust Valley Rotary Club, on the Board of National Aging in Place Council - Long Island Chapter (NAIPC) and a member of Gerontology Professionals of NY (GPNY) and I am on the Committee-at-large for Phoenix Rising!"

She is looking forward to helping the Human Service Agencies in Glen Cove through the IAC!

The Glen Cove Education Foundation 8th Annual Spring Golf Classic

Trinity Lutheran Church 2nd Annual Golf Event

Trinity Lutheran Church

For almost a year, Glen Cove High School has hosted its very first i Am My Sister Club. The students and faculty have been so supportive of the club and the organization. We are so excited to have the opportunity to support them just as they have supported us over this last year.

i Am My Sister is hosting a College Kickstarter for the Glen Cove HS young ladies and gentlemen that will be going away to college this coming fall. We’re coming to celebrate their accomplishments and make sure they are equipped with everything they need to make a successful transition into their new role as college freshmen.

It’s a party y’all!! A party with food, music, and of course gifts. Every student will leave with a basket stuffed with the school and dorm necessities to get started off right. They will also be matched with a mentor to support them through their first year and beyond.

We are asking you to partner with us! Make a tax-deductible donation to help with basket supplies. Donating is easy! You can go online to our website https://iammysister.org/donate/ , use Zelle: info@iAmMySister.org, or Cash App: $iAmMySisterInc. You can also purchase an item from the Amazon Gift Registry.

Your support doesn’t only help the students, but also parents and caregivers. Sending kids off to college although an exciting time can also be a financial struggle. Help us make the load lighter, so they can focus on what lies ahead.

I hope this E mail finds you well and that you had a happy Easter holiday.

I thought you and others who remember Abel might like to know that his Permanent Resident Application was approved and he was given a Green Card. It arrived in the mail the week before Easter. I waited until we were out for dinner on Easter Sunday to give it to him at the restaurant. Here are some photos of the moment when he realized what was in the envelope. Naturally he is very happy. We appreciate the IAC's support and prayers.

Marco continues to be very happy in Guatemala. I divide my time between my place in Hudson and my apartment in Guatemala City. Marco and I have spent many long weekends traveling around Central America. When I return there in the summer he and I are going to open a " coffee house " in San Antonio near the Pacific Coast. He talked me into it because it sounds like an interesting adventure.

We never forget you all. When I do get to a meeting in the future I will have gifts for everyone.

Best to all, Bill, Marco & Abel
