RONKONKOMA GRAND OPENING We finally celebrated the long-awaited grand opening party for our Ronkonkoma office. A great big thank you to everyone who came out for our official ribbon cutting.
FOOD PANTRY UPDATE All month long, our Signature agents are hard at work manning our food pantry, collecting donations, and stocking the shelves. At the end of each month, one of our offices chooses an organization to donate all of the food we’ve collected that month to. For the month of April, our Wantagh office donated to The Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition. For the month of May, our Rockville Centre office donated to St. Agnes Cathedral & St. Christopher’s. In June, our Syosset office donated to St. Edwards Parish. We’re in awe of these organizations and all that they do, and we’re honored to help support their efforts!
