Town of Brookhaven News & Notes

A look at what's happening in local government.

Dress for Success Program: Dress for Success Brookhaven has announced the 2010 honorees for its annual Success Builders' Gala to be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 10 at Lombardi's on the Bay in Patchogue. The Gala highlights the often unsung achievements of local community leaders who have been instrumental in helping women from all over Long Island. Those selected are Brookhaven Town Deputy Supervisor/Councilwoman Kathleen Walsh who also serves as Brookhaven Town Board liaison to Dress for Success Brookhaven, Jay Fund, President of Hunter Business School and Yvonne Grant, Chief Executive Officer of the Suffolk County Girl Scout Council. 

Sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven's Office of Women's Services, Dress for Success is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. 

TOB Paper Event: Brookhaven Town Supervisor Mark Lesko has announced that residents and small businesses can clean out their file cabinets, attics, and storerooms full of old letters, medical forms, and financial records and bring them to the Town's Materials Recycling Facility on October 22 and October 23 where they will be fed into a large shredder and baled for recycling. The massive mobile shredder is provided by Hudson-Baylor, the company that manages the Town's Material Recycling facility. It can efficiently shred large volumes of records in minimal time while preserving security. Hudson-Baylor retains the first 7000 lbs. of shredded paper and the Town gets the rest, which is baled and sold at market. The Town's Materials Recycling Facility is located at 350 Horseblock Road in Yaphank.
