100 Women Who Care awards donations to Senior Dreams Come True

On October 14­th, members of 100 Women Who Care about Long Island voted to award their meeting's member donations checks to Senior Dreams Come True. Senior Dreams Come True benefits low-income seniors on Long Island by granting wishes - from helping a senior meet basic needs to fulfilling a lifelong dream. Senior Dreams Come True is proud to have granted such wishes as: * Funding transportation to bring families together * Home improvements and repairs * Home modifications such as wheelchair accessibility and chair lifts * Assistance with medical expenses such as much needed dental work Many Long Island seniors with limited income are finding that life is more of a challenge when even a simple need or wish, which most of us take for granted, cannot be fulfilled. Charter member, Melissa Negrin-Wiener shared her thoughts on why this charity needed to receive our donation. "Senior Dreams Come True is so grateful to be in receipt of this generous donation. We are thrilled that we will be able to help so many more Long Island seniors in need. We would like to thank the members of 100 Women Who Care about Long Island for seeing what a huge need there is to assist seniors on a local level," she said. The organization's next meeting is Tuesday, January 13th, 2015 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Jewel Restaurant in Melville (on Rte. 110 at the LIE in Rubie Corporate Plaza). After the meeting the members invite the attendees to join them for socializing and networking. There will be complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. There is no charge to attend.
