North Hempstead Council Member Mariann Dalimonte and New York State Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti joined the Helen Keller National Center in Sands Point on June 27 to advocate for inclusivity and raising awareness in honor of Deaf-

Blind awareness week.

Dalimonte presented a proclamation in honor of DeafBlind Awareness Week which is an annual event that takes place during the last week of June. This coincides with the birthday of Helen Keller on June

27, 1880.

Helen Keller National Center is the only national program providing comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services to youth, working-age adults, and seniors with combined hearing and vision loss.

“William, you were always my hero. I wanted to be just like you, but I didn't play football or basketball like 'The Will', just didn't have your touch. I enjoyed watching you and was always proud to be your brother. Never does a day go by that I do not think of you. What would it be like to be able to call you. I have told my daughters about you letting me drive Mom and Dad’s new car around Tarboro although I was only 14 years old. October 2, 1970, Daddy’s birthday and the day that changed my life. You were my hero before Nam and you are still and one day I hope to walk with you again. I Love you. Mike”
