Lent graduated from Holy Trinity High School in 2008 and has finished two years studying accounting at St. John’s University. She has nearly a 3.6 GPA. She has given back to the community in many instances including volunteering at the South Shore nursing home in Freeport and the Mary Brennan Inn Soup Kitchen.
Mulholland graduated from MacArthur High School in 2009 and just finished his first year at SUNY Cortland. He has a 3.4 GPA and is on the Lacrosse Team. He’s been involved in various community activities as a camp counselor for youth wrestling and lacrosse, and for “Shooting Stars”, which helped teach basketball to individuals with Down Sydrome.
Schneberg just graduated from Plainview JFK High School and will attend SUNY Buffalo in the fall. She had over a 97 average and is very active in extra-curricular activities such as National Honor Society and Yearbook Club.
Santiago just graduated from East Meadow High School. He finished with a GPA of just under 94 helping him get into SUNY Farmingdale where he will start in the fall. He is most proud of his work in building a deck for the Blue Angels in order for them to perform at the Jones Beach Air Show.
In addition, for the fourth straight year, CSEA will use proceeds to send underprivileged children from Nassau University Medical Center to the Paul Newman Hole in the Wall Camp in Lake Luzerne, New York. The children will leave the first week of August.
A special thanks to the golf committee, chaired by Kelvin Lewis and Stephen Cohen for making the event such a great success. CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta said of the event, “In 2009, we canceled our golf outing due to the poor economy, which in retrospect was the right decision. I was glad we were able to put on such a great event yet again today, and have the proceeds go to such great causes.”
