YUMAAC - You've Gotta Love It
We recently attended the awards ceremony for YUMAAC to celebrate our son's first year playing baseball. It was an impressive event with trophies for all the participants. My family really enjoyed the formal nature of the presentation. The volunteers are all extremely dedicated, which is exactly what makes this fantastic program for kids possible. As of this year, YUMAAC has been helping kids learn about good sportsmanship for five decades. To find out more about YUMAAC, visit their website at www.yumaac.com - it's a great place for your son or daughter to discover the fun of playing baseball!

I'm Back, With Thanks
My husband was diagnosed with skin cancer and had to have surgery done on his nose and around his eye. It has been a difficult month for our family but last week my husband finally got the word from the doctor that all the cancer had been removed. After a month of caregiving and worry, I was able to let out a sigh of relief and thank God for his improved health.
I wanted to thank everyone who supported us during this stressful time. My son's teacher was wonderful and offered any assistance we needed along the way while keeping my son focused on learning. The mothers at my daughter's dancing school offering support, advice and shared stories. When I went to Norma and John's Deli, they insisted on sending home chicken soup for him and were so supportive. Mona's husband (from N and R Cool Cuts) was at Norma's and sent his sincere regards to my husband. My neighbors and friends checked in, helped with the kids and were truly concerned. After living in several places on Long Island during my life, I never saw such love and concern as from the people in Mastic Beach. What a caring community!
Just a reminder to everyone we care about -the summer is here, so don't forget to use sunscreen as you enjoy all those outdoor activities that make Mastic Beach so special to us all. As you go beaching, boating, biking and walking, put on sunscreen because skin cancer can creep up on any of us.
Happy summering - and grab that sunscreen!
