(PLAINVIEW and WOODBURY, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) joined forces with District 16 students of all ages to help hundreds of local seniors celebrate Valentines Day.
The fourth annual “From Your Heart to Our Seniors” project sought to harness the artistic and creative talents of local youngsters – and once again, they came through in a big way. Deputy Minority Leader Drucker’s office received hundreds of cards from Plainview’s Stratford Road Elementary School, the Judy Jacobs Parkway Elementary School, and Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School, which were later given out during Valentines Day breakfasts at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Senior Citizens Club, Atria Plainview, and Orchard Estate of Woodbury.
“Love was certainly in the air this Valentine’s Day, and it’s all thanks to the small army of crafty Cupids from local schools who put so much care and creativity into the cards they made,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “The seniors were extremely thankful, and it was wonderful to see how something so simple brought so much joy to so many people. Thank you to Planview-Old Bethpage Senior Citizen Club Director Lori Charletta, President Joan Cannavale, and Community Service Coordinator Cheryl Dender, as well as Atria Plainview Engage Life Director Emily Willens and Orchard Estate Program Director Gabriella Pusateri for welcoming us to be a part of your celebrations!”
