Connetquot Teachers Association
Helps Make 5th Annual
‘EVERY CHILD’S DREAM’ a Reality

Ronkonkoma, NY --- On December 17th the Connetquot Teachers Association (CTA) led an enthusiastic group of colleagues over to Sayville, NY, to help make ‘Every Child’s Dream’ come true. More than two dozen current members of the Connetquot Teachers Association, and their families, volunteered to distribute coats, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, blankets and school supplies to more than 600 of Suffolk’s homeless and needy neighbors. Event organizer Ken Mangan was pleased with the turnout of volunteers and guests, which made this 5th annual event the biggest and best so far.

Invited guests were served on linen-covered tables, by waiters and waitresses wearing white gloves, in the colorfully decorated auditorium of St. Lawrence the Martyr (founded in 1895) Church in Sayville, NY. CTA member Christine Dassler arranged for the teachers to sort and distribute coats, or assist in serving the guests. Suffolk’s homeless and needy guests were served snacks, dinner and dessert, and then had the opportunity to select from hundreds of pieces of gently used, as well as new, ‘winter wear’ that had been donated for their use. Youngsters were provided with their own surprises which included gifts distributed by Santa and his ‘elves’.

This is the fourth year of CTA involvement and thanks to Ken Mangan and his supporters, it just gets bigger and better. Connetquot teachers, and families, are committed to helping Ken and these needy families again next year. So many families participated again this year that there were two dinner sittings at 5 PM and again at 7:30 PM. Taking part in the 2010 ‘Every Child’s Dream dinner’ again was Presiding Officer William J. Lindsay of the Suffolk County Legislature, who took time to thank Ken Mangan and all the “…wonderful volunteers who made this event such a success.”

Congratulations to Ken Mangan for his incredible efforts on behalf of Suffolk’s homeless, and needy. The Connetquot Teachers Association has been increasingly involved in community events such as financial support of local sports teams for boys and girls, collecting clothing for the needy, raising funds to fight cancer, and providing college scholarships for Connetquot CSD students.

 

Tony Felicio, elected to the Presidency of the CTA in June 2011, and his family volunteered again for the annual dinner.
