Last Chance: Donate to Braunstein's Holiday Gift Drive

Today is your last opportunity to donate toys for kids or clothing for veterans.

Today is the last day during which you can donate to state Assemblyman Edward Braunstein's annual holiday gift drive.

The assemblyman is collecting new and unwrapped toys for children, especially those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

And his office is accepting sugar-free candy, slippers, robes, pajamas, sweaters, socks and toiletries for men and women as part of his veterans gift drive.

Gifts can be dropped off at the assemblyman’s office, which is located at 213-33 39th Ave., Suite 238, in Bayside, as well as at Community Board 11, located at 46-21 Little Neck Parkway in Little Neck, or the office of Dr. William Duke, located at 35-01 202nd St. in Bayside.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
