A DIFFERENCE AND HAVE FUN!
The Suffolk Community

to assist with our Job English class. Our Job English class
has been helping Latinos in Brentwood learn English that they
can use at work and in their everyday lives. Duties include
assisting in teaching lessons and helping individuals on a
one-on-one basis. Classes are held Wednesday’s
7-9 p.m. at St. Luke’s Church in Brentwood. If
you have some time on a Wednesday night and want to have fun
and make a difference please call us 631-434-9277.

NEED YOUR HELP!
As part of our ongoing Partners in Unity Project the Suffolk
Community Council is launching a new Computer Lab in Brentwood.
Our goal is to increase computer literacy in order to prepare
community members to learn basic computer skills, use technology
in the work environment, and increase social networking.
We would be delighted to receive any donations
of:
- Any properly functioning computers and/or monitors they
are no longer using. As much as we would appreciate any
and all donations we are unfortunately not able to accept
non-working computers or those older than 5 years.
- Any Microsoft software programs
- Anti-virus protection
- Keyboards
- Speakers
- Printers
- Mouse(s)
Many thanks for your consideration of this request. Should
you have any questions, please feel free to call our office.

THE CENSUS IS COMING, THE CENSUS IS COMING!
2010 is the next Census and
the Suffolk Community Council is a partner and wants everyone
to know how important it is to be counted. After all, we ALL
count – so let’s make it official! Be counted
and participate. We only have every 10 years to make sure
that everyone is counted and Long Island can get its fair
share of needed funds for services and good government representation.
Stand up and Be Counted!
Call us today for any questions you
have about the Census! We are here to help!

ACRONYMS
Many people working in the field of health and human services
often rattle off acronyms like the drop of a hat, but there
are some who do not know or remember what their meanings are
and those just entering the field are at a total loss by the
alphabet soup of acronyms. The Suffolk Community Council
is delighted to offer a listing of Acronyms, a product of
Michele Del Monte and Dolly Ciapetta, both members of the
Suffolk County Department of Social Services Commissioner's
Advisory Council. This is a wonderful resource and we
are most grateful to them and the agencies and Departments
for their generous support of their time. The definitions
have been taken directly from the departments, agencies, regulations
or laws. They were not edited to fit neither our format
nor perceptions; they are simply a matter of record.
Also, rather than redefining all the provider agencies in
the area, this simply refers people to the Community Resource
Database of LI, as this is less duplication of effort, and
better utilization of resources. Click

About our Logo:
The Suffolk Community
Council's logo conveys a fresh and spirited direction for
our agency. We selected an S
shape contained within a C curve
to represent the letters starting the words Suffolk Community
and Council. But combined, the illustration offers so much
more.
The S,
representing Suffolk, is contained within the C
to illustrate that our community action
focuses on the Suffolk region. The S
was designed to look like a pathway, since the collaborative
work of the Suffolk Community Council provides a path to stronger
community ties and services within our region.
The C
curve was shaped like a wave to convey
that we can create waves of power within the communities we
serve. The wave is tied together with our new tagline, Creating
Strong Communities, to reinforce our overarching goal.
