Get Bubbled @ Bubblemania

My friend over at Every Child Matters is inviting you and your family to a pretty awesome event this Saturday, June 23rd from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. at Hofstra University's Student Union Building.  Bubblemania will be the featured performance for those in attendance.  

Come out and have some fun with other Long Islanders while letting our future President know that Long Islanders want to know where he will stand on kids issues.  Hopefully one day "she" will also know where we stand.  I'm just saying.

A small donation gets you in the door, but if you write at least one letter to the future President per family about any children's issues, you get in free! Explain its importance on the lives of children and why it needs support. To register your family, fill out this online form.  You may also call (631) 885-8044.

Election Day

Those who follow politics or read the paper know that today is Election Day.  For what?  There are two unopposed Trustee seats up for re-election and only two candidates.  One candidate is a Valley Stream mom.  So why vote if the two candidates are going to win anyway?  It's all about the numbers.  The numbers in each election district let officials know who voted, where the votes are coming from, and votes = power.  You may think your vote doesn't matter as much this time around but don't forget that there is an election n November and candidates will definitely take notice.

You may also know that the two candidates running are part of the United Community Party.  What is that?  It's a team of both Republicans and Democrats who run jointly here in Valley Stream, like in last year's election, to bring somewhat of a balance.  Well, not exactly but almost.  The team is running pretty well and with the voice of a woman on the board, we women know that we at least have one female voice of reason.  In my opinion, it would be great to have more women in government on every level, but that's a different blog post for another day.

Go vote.  Take your kids with you.

It's Primary Day!

 

It's Primary Day so grab your kids and go vote.  No, they can't vote of course but it's never too early to instill the importance of voting at a young age.  My entire family voted together for the first time last November.  It was a monumental occasion for our family at the time and ever since that day, they actually enjoy going to vote with us. Your vote, and their vote, counts too!  Save the Date!  Every Child Matters is hosting a Parents Workshop on October 15th.  Come find out where your candidate's stand on children's issues because every child matters.
