March 24-25, 2006     The Plainedge High School Robotics Team 527 will once again be participating in the FIRST Robotics SBPLI Regional Tournament to be held at Hofstra University March 24th and 25th.  The Hofstra Tournament is open to the public!  The Robotics Team would love a large Plainedge rooting section!

 

The Red Dragons are currently meeting every day after school and from 8am to 4pm every Saturday.  They are building this year's robot that needs to be shipped on February 21st.

 

After the regionals in March the team will then travel to Atlanta to participate in the National Championships to be held at The Georgia Dome on April 28th and 29th.

 

To offset the costs involved in these tournaments the team is accepting any donations. Checks can be written to The Plainedge High School Robotics Team and sent to:

 

Gina Smith/Robert Gandolfo

Plainedge High School

241 Wyngate Drive

North Massapequa, NY  11758

 

Team 527 is always in need of new sponsors and volunteers. Whether it is a monetary donation or pizza and drinks for Saturday build sessions. Anything, no matter how small will help!

January 31, 2006       NMFD to hold Blood Drive

FOR RELEASE UPON RECEIPT                                                                                    Contact: Kurt D. Ludwig

North Massapequa Fire Department Chief Richard A. Erickson is urging residents to participate in the Departments semi-annual blood drive scheduled for Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at the North Massapequa Fire Department's Headquarters (1000 Broadway in North Massapequa, New York) from 3:30pm to 8:30pm to help replenish low supplies at local blood banks.

"Hospitals use hundreds of pints of blood each day to meet the needs of Long Island's patients," Chief Erickson said.  "Giving blood is always in season and what better way to make a difference this winter then by giving the gift of life to someone in need."

Chief Erickson said people should always donate whenever they can, especially during the winter months when supplies can drop drastically.

"Donating is quick and easy and is an entirely safe procedure," explained Chief Erickson.  "All materials used during the process are sterile, disposable and used only once . . . by you.  There is no danger of contracting any disease, including AIDS.  The pint of blood you donate will never be missed by your body, which manufactures an equivalent amount in 24 hours, but it could mean the difference between life or death to one or more recipients. When broken down into component parts, one single pint of blood can be used to heal and help the bodies of five different people.” 

To qualify as a blood donor, a person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days.

 

The fire department will provide refreshments for everyone who attends the blood drive. For more information, residents can contact the fire department by calling (516) 579-0900. Residents can also go online at www.NMFD-660.com

 

“Remember, there are many people out there hoping you are the type to give blood,” Chief Erickson said. “More important, you may also be the ‘right type’ for a patient waiting for the gift of life.”
