Committee Kicks Off Planning for Glen Cove’s 11th Annual Senior Recognition Day
Event to be held on Saturday, June 10 at Morgan Memorial Park
April 20, 2017…Glen Cove, New York…The City of Glen Cove holds its senior citizen community in great esteem as it proactively promotes their vitality through a number of city activities and program offerings. Now in its 11th year, a planning committee which includes representatives of Mayor Spinello’s office, the Glen Cove Senior Center and Youth Bureau, The Regency Assisted Living, The Atria at Glen Cove Assisted Living, Glen Cove Hospital Northwell Health, Glengariff Health Care Center, Office of Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton, the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown B.I.D. have joined together to create another dynamic program for the 2017 celebration.
New for 2017 will be a change of venue for the annual event to Morgan Memorial Park as the construction of Glen Cove’s Village Square is slated to begin in the coming months. “While we love having this event in downtown Glen Cove, we are excited about the opportunity to host and celebrate our seniors in a beautiful park environment,” said Carol Waldman, Executive Director of the Glen Cove Senior Center. “In our new location we will continue our tradition of celebrating our area’s centenarians (residents 100 years or older) and recognizing volunteers who keep the Glen Cove Senior Center a thriving social, educational and wellness destination while presenting a free afternoon of great entertainment with the Les Stanco Band, great food and activities.”
Families who wish to have their centenarians honored can call Laurie Huenteo at the Glen Cove Senior Center at (516) 759-9615 and businesses interested in sponsoring an activity or donating refreshments or giveaways can email Susan Tripp at [email protected].

NORTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL ROBOGYM ROBOTICS TEAM ADVANCES TO QUARTERFINALS
Congratulations to the North Shore High School Robogym Robotics Team on a wonderful season! Mr. Stephen Peroni said, “Our team had a great performance after thousands of hours of hard work and dedication by all. At both the Hudson Valley Regional and the SBPLI regional at Hofstra, our team was able to earn many points during qualifiers, and the team's members were able to interact with peers who were interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) from the United States, Brazil, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, India and Turkey. The following weekend was the SBPLI regional and the Robogym Robotics Team was able to advance to the quarterfinals, plus the team was selected to the alliance of the 2nd seed, which was greeted with much excitement from all members of our team.
Mr. Peroni continued, “We were very excited to see that the North Shore Schools community showed much interest in our robot and STEM with both the high school principal, Mr. Albert Cousins and the new superintendent Dr. Peter Giarrizzo, starting in the 2017-18 school year, in attendance. As well as the two executives, sponsors, mentors, alumni, and parents were in attendance. Our team, which had every component of the robot built by students, mastered many aspects of the process such as CAD, designing using 3D computerized modeling, coding, which allowed the robot to have success during the autonomous period in which the robot moved on its own. In the tele-operated period, our drive team controlled the robot, and succeeded in many matches.” The robot was built by the high school students on the team, and was revised and reconfigured many times to create the best robot possible. The North Shore High School Robogym Robotics anticipates even more success in the future and look forward to next year. Article and photos submitted by Mr. Stephen Peroni |
