Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) and New York Blood Center will be hosting a blood drive at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Library, 999 Old Country Road, Plainview, from 12:30 – 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 15. Each donor will receive a voucher for two free New York Mets tickets as a thank-you for rolling up their sleeves and helping to save lives.

“Blood donors are among our society’s unsung everyday heroes, and they are instrumental in ensuring that anybody who faces a medical emergency can receive the care that they need to survive and thrive,” Legislator Drucker said. “Whether you are a routine donor, one who hasn’t given in a while or even a first-time donor, we welcome you to join us at the Plainview-Old Bethpage

Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined with Rabbi Chanan Krivisky, of MiYaD of Jericho, to proclaim April 2, 2023, “Education and Sharing Day” in the Town of Oyster Bay, in recognition of the 121st birthday of Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who was considered to be one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the 20th century.

“Rabbi Mendel Schneerson dedicated his life to education and advocated for a greater emphasis of human rights, justice and morality in the education system,” said Supervisor Saladino. “I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor him than to proclaim April 2nd ‘Education and Sharing Day’ here in the Town, and encourage classroom instruction to include morality and ethics.”

Supervisor Saladino presented Rabbi Krivisky with this proclamation and thanked him for his efforts and for his spiritual and religious contributions.

Library on April 15 to roll up your sleeves and give the gift of life to your community!”
