HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE
 
December was another super month with 3 new donors bringing in an additional $5,600!  This total was spearheaded by the Hicksville Fire Department's contribution of $4,500. 

HFD GOLF COMMITTEE DONATION

On behalf of the "Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial Project" I would like to Take this Opportunity to thank 'The Golf Committee" of the Hicksville Volunteer Fire Department for including the 'Memorial Project' on the list of the many organizations that the 'Golf Committee' has bestowed modest contributions over the years so that the chosen organizations for that year may meet its goals

This year on December 3, 2017 at the Hicksville Volunteer Fire Department's Yearly Open house the members of the 'Golf Committee' presented the 'Memorial Project' team members a check in the amount of 4,500 dollars. 'The Memorial Project Team' would like to thank the 'Golf Committee', all the Golfers and Contributors who make this yearly event a great day of Golf and Generosity.

Each month, we profile a former student that has submitted a biographical sketch of their life. This month we have highlighted Memories of Ralph Schiavone from the class of 1960. Many of you have not used the opportunity of sharing precious moments with other classmates. It's not too late to submit a sketch to be included in the Alumni Bio Section (click the link on the left to go to the bios section) of the newsletter. We are including a writeable document that you can fill in on you computer and, after completing the document, forward to editors@hixnews.com
