American Legion hosts ANCHOR party

Posted

The Valley Stream American Legion hall hosted residents from the Town of Hempstead’s ANCHOR program on Nov. 19 for dinner and dancing. The party is typically held twice a year by Andrew Fatscher Post 854, located on Roosevelt Avenue.

ANCHOR, which stands for Answering the Needs of Citizens with Handicaps through Organized Recreation, is a comprehensive year-round program serving 1,200 children and adults with special needs.

Boy Scouts from Valley Stream Troop 116 helped out by serving food to the guests, who enjoyed the evening out.
