End Of The Year BBQ

We had our annual "End Of The Year BBQ" last week and everyone had blast! This event is so great because everyone gets to socialize with their friends outside in a fun laid back setting. It also gives everyone the opportunity to say goodbye to the staff and their friends for the summer break.

On the grill we had hotdogs and hamburgers sizzling, the start to any good BBQ! We also had an intense game of kickball with participates and staff! Others enjoyed a couple games of horse shoes. It was a great way to end our Spring programs, and we wish everyone a fantastic summer! See you in the fall!

The first block party was held in June and everyone had a wonderful time. There were plenty of activities for kids to enjoy such as face painting, trampoline, bounce castle, slide, petting zoo, obstacle course, high striker, DJ and more. The avenue was also filled with a variety of venders and all the participating restaurants on Mamaroneck Avenue were bustling with people all enjoying the block party.

We want to invite everyone to come out to the remaining 3 events left this summer, the dates are July 19^th, August 16^th and September 6^th. In July we have fun activities planned including but not limited to fire juggler, face painters, dunk tank, petting zoo, DJ, bounce castle, slide and kid friendly obstacle courses. 

New Legislation for Restoration of State Funding

South East has been advised that new legislation is being introduced in the NYS Assembly and Senate to restore OPWDD funding that was cut in the NYS budget.  The legislation is sponsored by Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg.  This bill (A.6692) has 142 co-sponsors, almost every member of the Assembly.  If Speaker Silver allows a vote, it is almost certain to pass.  Please take the time to call your Assembly member and tell him/her to vote for A.6692 immediately.  To ask for your Assembly member, call the Assembly switchboard at (518) 455-4100 and ask to be connected to your Assembly member.

Thank you.  Together we can make this happen!
