Town of Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen is calling on residents, schools, businesses and community organizations to nominate outstanding women for the town’s 2019 Pathfinder Awards.

Gillen will host the Pathfinder Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, March 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Merrick Golf Course Clubhouse, located at 2550 Clubhouse Road #1 in Merrick.
