Normally I try to limit the subject of these editorials to locations strictly within the Plainview-Old Bethpage area, however Variety Child Learning Center in Syosset is obviously important to this community as well. You may not have been aware, but the VCLC building suffered massive flood damage earlier this summer, most of which was not covered by insurance. Fortunately, local carpenters pitched in to repair the worst of the damage so the school could still open for the 2012-13 school year, but there are still more repairs to be done.
If you’d like to support the children of VCLC, mail monetary donations to Variety Child Learning Center at 47 Humphrey Drive, Syosset, NY 11791, Attn: Development—Flood Appeal. You can also donate online at www.vclc.org.
