It's a joyful occasion where families come together to interact with community figures, enjoy complimentary rides, games, and prizes, groove to tunes with a DJ, and build connections with the exceptional local entrepreneurs that define Franklin Square's character.
This leadership position carries immense responsibility, and I view it as an ongoing invitation for collective effort to forge a more resilient and thriving Franklin Square. Our shared goal remains bold: positioning this town as the premier destination in Nassau County. Through partnership, creativity and dedication, we can cultivate a space where businesses succeed and community spirit soars.

A diverse array of educational programs are offered for adults. In February, historian Sal St. George led a lecture on the cultural impact of Black comedians, engaging attendees in a discussion about the significant contributions of these artists to American entertainment.
The library's first floor houses a dynamic art gallery that showcases the work of local and regional artists. The gallery has featured varied exhibits such as Haitian art by Michael Brudent and Europeaninspired watercolors by Ilene Prager-Smith. These rotating exhibits, updated on a monthly basis, provide a platform for artists to display their work and offer patrons the opportunity to experience and appreciate diverse artistic expressions for free.
In many ways, putting out a newspaper each week is an interactive process. We need your participation to do our job, so we offer you — our readers and partners — a reminder of how and when to reach us.
To tell us what’s going on in your community, or news of upcoming events sponsored by civic, service, religious or community organizations, the deadline is 10 a.m. the Friday prior to publication. Notices are printed free of charge, and should be emailed to nwagner@liherald.

Looking to make a difference in Elmont?
Whether you're passionate about community service, advocacy or supporting local initiatives, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Here's how to get started.
Tim Baker/Herald
Bob Barker, president of the Locustwood-Gotham Civic Association, and his wife Hermian Barker at Elmont’s annual block party, an event organized by the local civic group to bring neighbors together and strengthen community connections.
Elmont residents can engage with several active civic associations, including the Parkhurst Civic Association, Jamaica Square Improvement League and LocustwoodGotham Civic Association. These groups focus on neighborhood improvements, safety and community events. Joining a civic association is a great way to stay informed and have your voice heard.
Elmont is home to various charitable organizations dedicated to supporting those in need. Giving Back to Community Corp. addresses food insecurity through meal distributions and educational programs. Meera Empowerment, founded by 10-year-old Selene Ferdinand, supports youth through life skills programs and cultural events, including fundraisers like the Fun Fashion Show Gala to benefit children in Haiti. Universal Interactions, led by Fenol LaRock and brothers Christiano and Antonio Marcello, also hosts a variety of events to bring together residents of all ages.
Renee DeLorenzo/Herald Everett Leach helped distribute turkeys during Giving Back to Community’s Thanksgiving food drive, one of several local charitable initiatives that support families in Elmont and neighboring communities.
games celebrating Black history were among the highlights of the Elmont Cultural Center’s annual Juneteenth celebration
The Elmont Cultural Center serves as a hub for civic engagement and cultural connection, empowering new immigrants and the entire community. They host a variety of events, including Juneteenth celebrations, family nights, and cultural festivals, providing opportunities for residents to connect and engage.
Looking for ways to get involved in Franklin Square? Whether you want to support local initiatives, volunteer, or engage with your neighbors, there are many opportunities to make a positive impact. Here are three ways to contribute to the community:
Families gathered to view banners honoring loved ones during the Franklin Square Civic Association’s Hometown
part of the group’s ongoing efforts to improve the neighborhood, organize community events, and bring residents together.
Franklin Square offers several active civic groups, including the Franklin Square Civic Association, Morton Civic Association, and the Community League of Garden City South. These organizations work on improving neighborhood safety, organizing community events, and addressing local concerns. Getting involved is a great way to connect with neighbors and help shape the community.
Franklin Square is home to organizations making a real difference in residents’ lives. Rescuing Families, Inc. helps disabled homeowners by providing home repairs and accessibility improvements at no cost. Howie’s Heart engages youth in service through events like the “Kindness Camp” for teens in the summer and the “Backpack Buddies” school supply drive. Volunteering with these groups allows you to directly support families and those in need.
The Franklin Square Historical Society preserves the community’s heritage and educates residents about the neighborhood's history. In partnership with the Franklin Square Forward Committee, the group hosts events, exhibits and programs that celebrate the past while revitalizing public spaces. Volunteering here is a rewarding way to help maintain and share Franklin Square’s unique story.
