Editorial: Volunteers Needed For Annual Lazy Days

This year marks the 15th annual Levittown Lazy Days of Summer Picnic hosted by the Levittown Community Council (LCC). The LCC works diligently throughout the year to plan and prepare this event. The organization seeks volunteers and sponsors to be able to pull this exciting event off, making it a truly memorable summertime experience for the community.

Volunteers are needed to help setup, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and also to help run many of the activities scheduled throughout the day, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The festivities will be held again at the East Village Green on Jerusalem Avenue on Saturday, July 7. Some of the events include relay races, sand art, bubble table, tattoos, face painting.

In addition to individual volunteers, the LCC welcomes local organizations including honor society students, religious education students, Key Clubs, scouting groups or anyone needing community service credit. They will provide written acknowledgement of your time commitment.

Throughout the day, LCC will also be collecting non-perishable foods and toiletries to help benefit local families. Guests of the summer event are asked to bring their food and toiletry donations to help stock area food pantries and shelters.

In an effort to bring the whole community together, the LCC also welcomes sponsorships of any size. Many times it is the generosity of business and individual donations that help reduce the costs of such a fun day for families, including some of the more costly offerings like the pony rides, petting zoo, and inflatables. To volunteer, sponsor, or make a donation contact Mauro Cassano as (516) 796-3392 or e-mail: levittowncouncil@yahoo.com. The Levittown Tribune wishes the community a safe and fun filled summer.
