Youth Council thanks many

To the Editor:

On behalf of the Rockville Centre Youth Council, we would like to thank David and Jackie Wong, owners of the Palace of Wong, and their staff members for hosting our second annual Chinese New Year celebration. The event took place on Jan. 20, and more than 70 teens attended. The students showed off their talents, taking part in karaoke, Wii and Just Dance while enjoying an abundance of delicious Chinese food.

We would also like to thank Amanda DiGiovanna and Tara Granda, owners of Revolution Yoga, for hosting the second Café and Music Night on Feb.10. There was a great turnout, and attendees listened to their peers perform music ranging from alternative rock to classical jazz. All of the students were given the opportunity to entertain the crowd with their musical talents while pizza, snacks and soda were served.

The Youth Council would also like to thank Nick and John Angelis for hosting an all-you-can eat pizza night on March 23 at Nick’s Pizza. Students were served pizza, salad, and soda.

And thank you in advance to Dan Levine of Five Pennies Creamery, who is set to host our group on June 15, starting at 10:30 p.m. We look forward to another successful event there, a great way to end our school year!

Rockville Centre Youth Council events are open to all area teens and their guests. Contact Nick Suss, at nick.suss@gmail.com, or Taylor Kosakoff, at tkosakoff@gmail.com, for more information about the organization.

The Youth Council is grateful for all of the support it has received from local businesses owners. Without their generous donations of food, space and time, these events would not be possible.

If any local businesses are interested in lending the Youth Council — an independent, tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization — space after hours to host future events, please contact board member Jeanne Mulry at JeanneMulry@aol.com.
