(Huntington, N.Y.) Councilwoman Berland joined members of the Melville Lions Club, Jillian Guthman-Abadom, Director of Human Services; and campers at the St. John’s Summer Camp program to celebrate the acquisition of new reading materials for the campers. The acquisition was made possible by a donation from the Melville Lions Club and the Brandel/Murphy Foundation Lending Library.
The Project Play-St. John’s Summer Camp program serves children ages 3 1/2 through 12 years old. The St. John’s program has been operating in the Huntington area for 40 years and is jointly funded by the Town of Huntington, the St. John’s Church in Cold Spring Harbor and through sponsorships and donations by community organizations.
“Encouraging summertime reading for Huntington’s children is so important to keep their reading skills sharp for the upcoming school year,” commented Councilwoman Berland. “Nothing beats a good book! I thank the Melville Lions Club for their generous donation.”
