November calendar of events for Lakeview, Malverne and West Hempstead

Posted Wednesday, November 10, 2010 2:54 pm

First grader Ashrita Seelan, with therapy dog Petey, joined the Malverne Public Library's Tail Waggin' Tutors program just prior to Halloween. Petey, who was wearing a bumble bee costume, and fellow Shetland sheepdog tutor Bella, are trained by handlers Julie and Tim. They are brought in to the library to work with children in kindergarten through fourth grade to develop reading in 20-minute sessions. While reading in front of peers and teachers can be stressful, when children read to non-judgmental dogs they are likely to be relaxed.

The Malverne Volunteer Ambulance Corp is gearing up for the holidays with a huge Christmas basket that can be yours! The basket is donated in memory of Edith C. Heinsohn, a 55-year resident of Malverne who died last year after a 10-year battle with Alzheimers. More than 30 holiday items are included in this festive basket. The MVAC will be accepting donations for tickets; $1 each; six for $5; 12 for $10; 24 for $20. Your donations are tax deductible. The winning ticket will be drawn at the conclusion of the Lighting of Malverne on Dec. 4. Please contact MVAC President Joe Karam at (516) 593-9353. Don't miss your chance to win this wonderful basket! In the photo: Malverne Volunteer Ambulance Corp's EMT Ryan Lawton took a swim in the dunk tank at the Malverne Fair on Oct. 24. Ryan's brother Kevin delivered the pitch that dunked him.
