NYSUT Supports Long Island Crisis Center WALK

Stepping Together to Prevent Suicide
Dear Union brothers and sisters,
Below and attached is a Save-the-Date Flyer. NYSUT is working with Pat Collins, president of Island Park and volunteer at the Crisis Center, to help promote and raise money for the Long Island Crisis Center.
Lee Cutler, NYSUT Secretary-Treasurer, will be walking with us and has secured a $500 donation from NYSUT for this very important center. 
Below is the Crisis Center  mission statement that is listed on their web site and a direct link to the center.
I hope you will save the date to walk on the Long Beach Boardwalk on September 18.
In unity,
Barbara Hafner
