The
failure of not passing the initial Budget is paramount, but if the Re-Vote fails it will be devastating to the
CHILDREN of OUR Community. Sadly,
parents won't realize the IMPACT of this occurrence until it’s too late. We
will hear parents screaming in September "WHY?!?!?!" Well the why is
very easy... Parents aren't INVOLVED
enough. There's over 5,000 residents in
the Town of Elmont and only 2,000 comes out to Vote on a budget outcome which
DIRECTLY effects their CHILDS Future...
Many
residents don't know where to Vote. Many don't know when the VOTE is, despite
having a sign on Dutch Broadway in front of the school saying when the Vote is.
The Impact will trickle down to the kids
of Elmont and sadly, they won't
have a voice to say anything about the Impact.... Way to Go Parents (Sarcasm)

The
current Budget issue, is a very scary one, because it affects programs that I
believe are beneficial to the development of our children.
Our organization The Elmont Cardinals Sports Club, does not only offer sport
team options to both parents and their children, we offer opportunities for
children to be healthy; more socially conscious, aware, and excited to be a
part of the community process; Our children fare better on an academic level,
because they are focused and respect the concept of hard work and meeting goals. Without the YES votes in next
month’s Re-vote, Elmont would lose not only a part of the Elmont Sports Club,
but many other youth organization programs, after-school, music/arts, and
enrichment, programs designed and geared
towards nurturing a well-rounded child. It would be a tragedy for residents to
vote against the very foundation of our countries future..THE CHILDREN!
