Nassau County Gifts $75K Bus to Glen Cove Seniors

The Glen Cove Senior Center’s Adult Day Program was the recent recipient of a new 20-seat bus priced at $75,057, courtesy of Nassau County.

Glen Cove Senior Center Executive Director Carol Waldman thanked Nassau County for their generous donation. “The new bus is literally and figuratively a vehicle that provides access to vital programs and services, for our members,” she said in a press release.

The new bus will transport seniors to local events, excursions and pick them up and drop them off.

"This bus fulfills a long awaited need to provide transportation for the seniors in our Adult Day program, and no one is happier than our program members and our bus driver Jay LaPalmer," Adult Day Program Director Lisa Craig said.

Officials held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate this gift.

Those who attended the ceremony were Waldman, Craig, Glen Cove Mayor Reggie Spinello, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, Acting Commissioner of Human Services James Dolan, Director of the Nassau County Office for the Aging Victoria Meyerhoefer, Nassau County Liaison Beth Limmer, grateful members of the Adult Day Program and representatives of the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce.

The Glen Cove Senior Center Adult Day allows the local senior citizens to socialize and be active in a safe environment.
