South Bay's Neighbor
These two moms opened a spa. It had one big, beautiful effect on the community.
Mery and Sindy always knew they wanted to open a spa to bring beauty to customers. Little did they know it would have the same effect on the community. And Business First was there. We provided $23,000 in grants to help with much-needed renovations so Mery and Sindy could bring their vision to life.* Now, not only does their spa impact clients in a beautiful way, it gives the community an economic lift as well.
*Incentives, grants, and savings will vary with every project.

Kids Bicycle Safety Day April 11th
Oyster Bay Town
Councilman Steve Labriola announced that the Town will host a Kids Bicycle Safety Day at Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa on Saturday, April 11th from 11am to 1pm. The event is being run in partnership with the Massapequa Kiwanis Club and the Nassau County Police Department and will focus on important bicycle safety for children of all ages.
“With the warm days of spring rapidly approaching, the topic of bicycle safety is of the utmost importance
as children of all ages head out to enjoy the beautiful weather,” said Councilman Labriola.
“With the enjoyment of riding comes a need for appropriate responsibility.
When riders of all ages understand how to share the road responsibly, we reduce preventable injuries, ease traffic congestion and encourage safety and fun.”
Youngsters should bring their own bikes and helmets to the park.
Bicycle Safety Day will include police-led safety demonstrations, including
learning the importance of riding responsibly, wearing a helmet and preventing reckless riding. A fun obstacle course will also be set up for participants to enjoy.
Kids Bicycle Safety Day is coordinated by the Massapequa Kiwanis Club and the Nassau County Police Department. Majorie Post Park is located in Massapequa at 451 Unqua Road. For more information, visit the Kiwanis Club website at massapequakiwanis.org.
Newspapers Have Helped Shape
World
Newspapers have helped shape the world for decades, serving as invaluable resources that highlight both national and local news, retail information, cultural events, and much more. Although several newspapers now offer online versions of their publications, many readers remain partial to print versions. Those who purchase printed newspapers daily or subscribe to home delivery should consider recycling the papers to protect the planet. According to the environmental resource EarthEcho International, recycling a single run of the Sunday issue of The New York Times - or a comparable paper’s Sunday edition - would save 75,000 trees.
Massapequa Kiwanis – Helping Our Community
The Massapequa Kiwanis is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community. One of the unique services the organization proudly offers is the installation of handicapped ramps at no cost for those in need.
Currently, more than 10 ramps have been installed throughout the neighborhood, helping individuals safely access their homes and improve their mobility.
To continue providing this essential service, the organization relies on the generosity of the community. Ramps are often acquired from residents who no longer need them. While there is typically a cost to dismantle and remove these structures, Massapequa Kiwanis offers this service free of charge in exchange for the donation of the ramp.
Those who have a ramp they no longer need—or know someone who does—are encouraged to reach out. Donated ramps can be repurposed to assist neighbors in need.
For more information, contact: massapequakiwanis@ gmail.com
The Massapequa Kiwanis extends its sincere thanks for the community’s continued support.

There is no definitive age when a child may need to get eyeglasses. However, the American Association for Pediatric Ophthal-mology and Strabismus notes that children’s visual systems are still developing during the first 12 years of their life, and during this period wearing glasses can be important for normal vision development. Glasses can help straighten crossed or misaligned eyes, bolster weak vision caused by differences in vision between a child’s eyes, and even protect the stronger eye. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children begin vision screening around age 3 and receive annual screenings each year at ages 4, 5 and 6. After that, screening is recommended when children turn 8, 10, 12, and 15. Of course, parents who begin to suspect their children are having trouble with their vision are urged to take the child to an ophthalmologist once such suspicions arise. Some notable signs include inexplicable declines in academic performance, children sitting closer to the television than they once did and children’s own remarks regarding their vision if they say anything at all.
