Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Dianne Hauge who passed in December 2017. Some of our members were able to attend the wake and funeral mass.

Our deepest sympathy is also extended to Jill Bowers and the Holtermann family on the passing of Jill’s father, Clifford Holtermann. Wake will be on Wednesday, January 10th at the Hanley Funeral Home on New Dorp Lane – 4 PM – 8 PM with the funeral at St. Andrew’s Church on Richmond Hill Road on Thursday, January 11th at 10 AM

At our February 2018 meeting we will be presenting a check in the amount of $1000
to the Wishes of Literacy program recommended by Rosemarie Mangano.
Wishes of Literacy was formed in 2010 by Wendy Ramos to help children
with Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities.
Their mission
· To raise awareness of dyslexia.
· To help parents through workshops, education, and support.
· To help children by bringing programs to our community, in our schools, and eventually to start a school on Staten Island designed to support their learning needs and styles. Wishes of Literacy is Staten Island’s only non-profit learning center dedicated to helping children who struggle to read and learn because of dyslexia and learning differences.
