We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, friends and volunteers who made our fund-raiser for John DiVello Jr. at the Nassau Country Inn on Sunday, Sept. 27, such a success.

The tremendous outpouring of love and support expressed by the community is overwhelming. We are especially touched that everyone has taken Johnny under their wings and joined in spreading the word so that we can hope for a large turnout for his bone marrow drive next weekend (Oct. 3 and 4) at Notre Dame Church, New Hyde Park.
