We all know someone who's making a difference. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Lindenhurst.

LINDENHURST— When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.
Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.
This submission comes from Lori-Ann Novello who nominated Marie Seaquist of Lindenhurst.
As the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of Lindenhurst, Novello said Seaquist has a "heart of gold" and always tries to help others.

How do you know the local hero?
She is the proprietor of Elite Dance Studio in Lindenhurst.
What does the local hero do?
She teaches young people to dance!
Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?
Marie is always thinking of others. She's pretty busy keeping her business fun and fresh, but she also volunteers and serves as the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of Lindenhurst (Lindy).
Marie selflessly uses her skills to help promote other businesses in Lindy too. Marie's everyday attitude emulates the wise old proverb, "when you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together."
Working alongside dedicated village officials and chamber of commerce members, Marie's leadership has rallied the business community to celebrate a remarkable revitalization in Lindy. The Wednesdays on Wellwood WOW events brought hundreds of shoppers to town. Lindy Pride!
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?
Marie has a heart of gold, and you can recognize her shop along Wellwood Avenue by the unique and beautiful florals that welcome you to enjoy music and dance, spreading joy every day of the week!
Thank you for all you do, Marie Seaquist!
