Santa Joe! 

From The Offices of NY State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. (15th Senate District Office):

The United Hindu Cultural Center, 118-09 Sutter Ave, South Ozone Park, NY, welcomed a visit from NYS Senator Joe Addabbo, who played  Santa during their holiday program on Saturday, December 19.  Over 200 adults and children enjoyed the holiday music, dance  and good food at this annual event. "Senator Santa" gave out gifts, posed for many pictures, then left on his sleigh before the snowstorm arrived.

Nice job, Santa! 

On another note, Senator Addabbo is sponsoring a free, post-holiday recycling event at his district office, in collaboration with representatives from e-Green Management, LLC.  Recycle your unwanted electronic equipment; two trucks will be available to collect your old, outdated items to make room for new equipment.

E-Waste Collection Event – FREE!

Participate in an environmentally responsible free event that will prevent your electronic waste from entering into a landfill and polluting our environment.  e-Green promotes “zero waste to landfill” ethics and operates “cradle to cradle” under all Federal, State and local regulations to ensure the responsible recycling of all e-waste collected.  e-Green will recycle your unwanted electronic equipment, including:  computers, fax machines, scanners, laptops, monitors, typewriters, copiers, cameras, cell phones, televisions, printers, telephones, servers, PDAs, batteries.

WHEN:      Saturday,  January 9, 2010,  10 AM – 3 PM

Once the equipment is accepted here, the following process takes place:  all hazardous components (batteries on circuit boards and portable equipment, mercury switches, toxic capacitors, fluorescent lamps,  leaded glass from monitors, etc.) will be extracted prior to destruction. These are then disposed of in an environmentally sound manner, exceeding Federal and State regulations. Non-hazardous materials (paper, plastic, metal, glass, etc.) are recycled. All material assigned to destruction is totally disassembled, shredded, incinerated or a combination of these.
