Thank you to Governor Kathy Hochul and State Senator Monica R. Martinez for securing $3 million in funding to restore the Deer Park High School Aquatic Center! All of Deer Park is grateful for this much-needed investment in our community.

For generations, the Aquatic Center has been a valuable resource for students, families and residents throughout Deer Park and the surrounding communities. This funding will help restore a facility that so many have relied on for years and ensure it can continue serving our community for generations to come.

Thank you again to Governor Hochul and Senator Martinez for recognizing the importance of this project and making this investment possible!

ENL Informational Night and the Hispanic Heritage Celebration at Brentwood High School last night provided an opportunity for families to learn about educational resources and available services while celebrating the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of our Hispanic community.

It was an honor to be invited to share information about available county and district office services and a joy to witness the pride and excitement amongst all attendees. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make it such a wonderful success!

I had a great time attending the ELIJA Farm Annual Fall Festival in Dix Hills on Saturday where I saw the many dedicated volunteers and everyone who came out to enjoy the festivities!

The festival featured live music, food, local vendors, hayrides and plenty of family-friendly activities, all while supporting the wonderful work being done at ELIJA.

I was once again happy to support this annual event by securing Suffolk County grant funding to help offset the costs and make the celebration possible. Thank you to Deb Thivierge, the volunteers and everyone at ELIJA Farm for your continued dedication to creating a welcoming and inclusive place for individuals and families throughout our community!

Congratulations to ELIJA Farm in Dix Hills on the ribbon cutting of their new Learning and Engagement Center!

It was wonderful to join the ELIJA Farm community in celebrating this exciting milestone and the continued growth of an organization dedicated to providing meaningful educational, vocational and community opportunities for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities, led by their founder and visionary Deb Thivierge. The new center was built with funding provided by a Suffolk County Economic Development JumpSMART grant.

I am always happy to support the important work of ELIJA Farm, including through annual grant funding for their Fall Festival, which will be taking place this weekend! Congratulations again to everyone at ELIJA Farm, and thank you for all you do for our community!

Thank you to the Deer Park Public Library for hosting and all of our neighbors who came out to another successful “Legislator at Your Library” event! It was great meeting and talking with so many of you, providing notary services and Senior ID cards and sharing information on available County resources. A special thank you to the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office for joining me and providing free Senior Medical ID photo cards and having a Shed the Meds safe disposal box. Hope to see you at the next one!
