The Long Island Chapter staff successfully completed our pilot program, MS Service Day. On Thursday, May 27th we helped one of our Malverne residents spruce up their yard for the summer season. We pulled weeds, raked leaves, planted grass seed and flowers. This was a unique opportunity to give back to the community and help one of our members with a task that would otherwise be cost prohibitive. A special thank you to Chapter Board member, David Leviton of Cushman and Wakefield, who provided us with
ice cream treats!
