Envision Valley Stream

Happy New Year! We hope the year is filled with joy and prosperity.


The next general meeting of Envision Valley Stream will be on Thursday, January 20 at 7:30PM in the Field House at Firemen's Field (intersection of E. Fenimore Street and Albermarle Avenue). We will be discussing and prioritizing our goals for 2011.

Also, with respect to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I will be leading a discussion at the Henry Waldinger Memorial Library Children's Room on Tuesday, January 18 from 7PM to 8PM. If you have children between the ages of 8 and 12, this will be an excellent event for them. Below is information from the library regarding the event:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birth provides an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion about public service and civic engagement. Children ages 8-12 and parents/caregivers are invited to join us to read together an excerpt from Dr. King's speech "The Drum Major Instinct" and talk about his legacy of service and its place in our lives and our democracy. The discussion will be led by David Sabatino, founder of Envision Valley Stream. For further information contact Library Director, Ms. Eng, at 516-825-6422.

Sincerely,

David Sabatino

Winter Storm Watch

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Nassau County from Tuesday Evening through Wednesday afternoon.


Snow should develop across the county from 8-9pm Tuesday evening. Expect snow to last through the day on Wednesday before finally coming to an end by 1-2am Thursday morning. The heaviest snow should fall from 11pm-12am Tuesday night through 10am Wednesday morning. Expect the activity to taper to scattered light snow showers or flurries for the rest of the day Wednesday and into Wednesday night. Snow accumulations of 5-10 inches are expected right now. There is potential for slightly higher snow totals if the track is just right, but this is a little uncertain at this time. Winds will be relatively light through the night on Tuesday. Winds should pick up Wednesday out of the northwest with gusts to 25-30 mph as it looks right now. As far as tidal departures, the winds should be light on the side of the storm that would pile water up along the coasts of your county. We may get maybe 1-1.5 feet above normal and this should not be enough to produce any coastal flooding.
