Commack Community Members Keep Grandfriends Club Alive
Commack Community Association donated $250 to the school activity, that builds relationships between seniors and high school students.
The Commack Community Association voted Thursday to donate $250 to the high school's Grandfriends club, a volunteer activity, in which students interact with and help senior citizens at the Gurwin Geriatric Center.
Gurwin will match the donation, in order to pay for the program, which was one of several clubs cut from the school district's budget.
The club makes it possible for high school students to build relationships with the senior citizen community by joining in games of bingo, nail painting and putting on holiday parties for the Gurwin residents. The Grandfriends Club has also helped to put together a senior prom for those they volunteer with.
