Writing New York

The Hospice Care Network is a not-for-profit organization that offers care for terminal patients and families in Suffolk County and Nassau County. The organization focuses on what is best for patients and provides care and comfort for those who are terminally ill. The organization has been up and running since 1988 and continues to expand its services to local communities. The New York Islanders promoted Hospice Care Network at a game and raised $3,000 for programs and services.  My mother works for a health clinic for the local hospital where information is posted weekly to inform the community about what is going on and how they can help those in need. This was one of the organizations that reached out to the local communities near my neighborhood for help with fundraising.

In search of somethng to call its own, the Islip Chamber of Commerce presented a business proposal to the community in which a new center of the arts would open up. Due to the loss of the Islip movies, theater members of the community feel like it’s time to try something new. The new arts theater would include original productions, popular plays, classic plays, children films and a combination of comedy club and night club. The only problem is that the group does not have enough finances to get this project started. They also lack the support of local businesses and sought help from the town board hoping to gain its support.
