Huntington Notebook: Young Fashion Designer Honored

Budding Fashion Designer Presented Awarded

Budding fashion designer Brielle Caro, 11, was presented with a Town Proclamation on Sept. 27 during a charity fashion show she organized at Oheka Castle in Huntington.

Proceed from the fashion show went to Angela's House, an organization formed to coordinate complex home care services and residential services for medically fragile children.

“Eleven-year old Brielle Caro is a truly gifted fashion designer and she helped many children’s dreams to come true,” said Councilman Mark Cuthbertson. “It was my honor and privilege to recognize Brielle on behalf of her charitable contributions to Angela’s House and all of the children who will ultimately benefit from her childhood advocacy.”

Disability Parking Permits Up for Renewal

Approximately 12,000 disability parking permits (blue hang-tags) expired Sept. 30 and are up for renewal with the Town Clerk's Office. Renewal applications were mailed in June and second reminders in August.

“The renewal process is quite detailed in order to assure that only individuals who are qualified for a renewed permit are issued one,” said Town Clerk Jo-Ann Raia. "For cost saving purposes, over 10,000 renewed permits were mailed Sept. 18 to residents who returned their renewal applications to her office." These new permits will expire Sept. 30, 2015.

Raia urged any resident who has not received their renewed permit by Oct. 1 to contact her office at 631-351-3206.
