About:
On November 2, 2019 our PAL 12U AAA Major Jr. Islander’s team had the opportunity to take part in a community service event to help a wonderful organization – The Book Fairies. The Book Fairies, a Long Island based non-profit organization, accepts donations of new and gently used books, and connects them with libraries, schools and organizations throughout metropolitan New York that do not have the funds to foster the love of reading for their children. Our boys collected books to donate to the organization which they brought with them on Saturday to The Book Fairies warehouse in Freeport, NY. Eileen Minogue, the Executive Director, talked to the boys about the organization and what they do and how they help others in need, locally and globally. They were then organized into groups, in order to help with their latest project which is a 3 mile chain of books to break the Guinness Book of World Records. The boys sorted and measured the books which will be set up in Wyandanch, NY and then donated to that community. #palicehockey1920
