Letter To The Editor From Senator John Flanagan

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — New York State Senator John Flanagan wrote a letter to the editor ahead of the 2019 holiday season. Below is his full letter:

Dear Friend:

As our country comes to the start of the holiday season, a welcome opportunity for all of us to pause and spend quality time with our family and friends, my staff and I would like to wish our community a very Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving. We hope that everyone is able to enjoy all the things in their lives that they are thankful for and that they appreciate.

With the Thanksgiving weekend serving as the unofficial start of the holiday season, we would also like to invite our residents to visit our 2019 Helpful Holiday Safety and Shopping Tips section on our website. This section is designed to help take some of the stress out of the holidays by providing families with information on how to protect their homes, their finances and their loved ones. The site contains some easy-to-use advice and links to informative websites about cyber security, home safety and other important topics.

It also contains a list of local charities that are working to make the holidays brighter for all in our community. From organizations that are at the forefront of the fight against hunger to ones that are working to make sure that every family has a happy holiday season, these organizations are there for our less fortunate neighbors. We hope that everyone who is able will reach out and assist those in need as we enjoy the holidays.

Residents can visit the 2019 Helpful Holiday Safety and Shopping Tips section by visiting flanagan.nysenate.gov and clicking on the link on the home page.

We wish everyone in our community a very Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.

Sincerely,
John Flanagan
New York State Senator
