As the County’s countless districts ramp activity back up following the Fourth of July holiday, let us remember the recent local leader highlights we’ve yet to cover due to the demands of another successful special edition graduation issue. 

One such noteworthy occasion includes the Literacy Celebration at the Centereach Branch of the Middle Country Public Library. The annual event, held on Wednesday, June 18th, regularly honors young academics and new citizens who are immersed in the citizenship programs offered by the library. 

Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy and Twelfth District Legislator Leslie Kennedy were in attendance, while Senator Dean Murray, Assemblywoman Rebecca Kassay, and Brookhaven Councilman Neil Manzella sent certificates that were rewarded.

“It’s heartwarming to see people work hard and do the right thing, and there’s nothing better than seeing people get rewarded for that hard work,” said Legislator Kennedy. “The community support that night was just incredible. The whole thing was just great."
