Annual Meeting
On June 23, 2006
Suffolk Community Council held its Annual Membership Meeting
at the Stonebridge Country Club in Hauppauge. Dr. Davis
Pollack, Council Board member, spoke on behalf of Assemblywoman
Patricia Eddington about Timothy's Law. The Council
honored Michele Del Monte of the Suffolk County Office of
Handicapped Services with the third Maxine Postal Award for
Human Dignity. New Council board members and returning
board members were sworn in by Hon. Anne. F. Mead, our Board
Member Emeritus.
The Maxine
Postal Award
Maxine Postal was
a Suffolk County Legislator, past Presiding Office of the
Legislature and a real friend to health and human services.
A tireless advocate for the poor and vulnerable, she used
her political position to further her fight for what was right
and decent for all people regardless of race, color, sexual
or political preferences. She was a champion of all
champions. Sadly, Maxine passed away in January of 2004
leaving a legacy of human dignity and advocacy for others
to carry on.
Every year, the
Suffolk Community Council honors a worthy recipient of the
Maxine Postal Award for Human Dignity to a person who has
dedicated themselves to the spirit and principles exhibited
by Maxine Postal.
This year, the Suffolk
Community Council was pleased to honor Michele Del Monte as
the recipient of the Maxine Postal award for her hard work
