Text for Absentee Ballot Application!

Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci has been working hard to make the services of government as accessible and user friendly as possible. Now, David Carlucci is asking those who will be out of town for the Presidential Election on November 4th to apply for an absentee ballot. To make this process as simple as possible, Carlucci has created an easy way to get an absentee ballot! All you have to do is get out your cell phone and apply now! Just text the word ‘ABSENTEE’ to 41411 from any cell phone. You will get a message back within a minute giving you all the information you need to apply for the absentee ballot. The text you receive will give you a link to the absentee application, then just fill out the form, print, sign, and mail to the Board of Elections at 11 New Hempstead Road, New City, NY 10956. All absentee Ballot Applications must be postmarked by October 28th. Voting is not just a right, but a privilege, a privilege that Americans can’t take for granted. If you will be away at school, on vacation or unable to make it to the polls for any reason on Election Day and have not applied for your absentee ballot yet, do it today. For further information contact David Carlucci at (845) 639-2010 or visit www.clarkstownclerk.com.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Needs Your Help!

I would like to let everone know about a leadership opportunity for students while they support the lifesaving mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is forming a new Cure Finders Student Youth Board. Cure Finders is the CF Foundation's annual school fund-raising program for grades K through 12, working for a cure to a disease which affects about 30,000 children and adults in the United States.
Members of this prestigious panel will recruit schools to participate in Cure Finders, organize and lead other students and volunteers in fund-raising activities, and raise awareness of cystic fibrosis and the need to fund lifesaving CF research and care. Students engage in friendly competitions, to see which classroom can raise the most funds for CF research and care. They also compete with other schools in their communities (and nationwide) for the honor of becoming the top Cure Finders school in the country.
With the school year just beginning, many students are looking for ways to earn community service hours. Serving on the Cure Finders Student Youth Board would be a great way to serve our community and gain leadership skills, while making a difference in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis. If you know a middle or high schooler with leadership potential and the desire to make a difference, then I urge you to nominate the student to serve on the Student Youth Board at www.cff.org
I would love to hear about Clarkstown students who volunteer for this and other causes and recognize them through my I Caught You Doing Something Great Program, If you catch someone doing a good deed, or anything truly inspiring, e-mail that person’s name and what it is that they did to the Clarkstown Town Clerk’s Office at d_carlucci@town.clarkstown.ny.us or contact me at (845) 639-2010. Remember, we can desire change, but sometimes we have to be a part of that change to make it happen. I can think of no better way to do that than by volunteering.
