The purpose of the training is to help interested residents and landowners lean the few basic skills needed to design, build and maintain raingardens. To register call 516-364-5860.

Brookville Multifaith Campus Thanksgiving Celebration
At 3 p.m., Brookville Multifaith Campus, 2 Brookville Rd., Brookville, home to Christians, Muslims and Jews, cordially invites the community to join them in celebrating their one year anniversary at a special Thanksgiving Celebration.
Dr. Sultan Abdulhameed, founder of the Muslim Reform Movement Organization said their celebration is unique. For the second year, instead of speaking from their own religious tradition, the pastor, the rabbi and the Muslim leader will be teaching from the other’s holy scripture. Dr. Abdulhameed said this shows respect for the other’s faith tradition and acknowledges that they honor each others holy scriptures. Rev. Vicky L. Eastland, pastor at Brookville Church said, “Last year’s Thanksgiving Celebration was the highlight of my career. I have spoke of the need for peace and reconciliation among religions for years, but this is the first time I am actually involved in a place that is putting it into practice.”
What began solely as a Protestant Dutch church in 1732 is now a place of religious diversity. Along with Brookville Church, The Muslim Reform Movement Organization, The New Synagogue of Long Island, and The Interfaith Community of Long Island (two religions, one family), call the same location home.
Their mission is to build a multi-faith community of people from different faiths who are able to connect to one another by embracing similarities, while respecting differences. A warm welcome is extended to people of all faiths to attend this special day of celebration.
For more information call 516-626-0414 or visit www.brookvillechurch.org.
