Lindy Weekend Planner: Souper Bowl, Letters to Gov.

Another week of cold winter weather is winding down for Lindenhurst, and  Super Bowl weekend - February 1 to 3 - is knocking at our door.

If you're looking for something to do and ways to help your neighbors and give back to the community, then we have a few local suggestions.

Senator Charles Fuschillo has arranged to bring the New York Legal Assistance Group’s Mobile Legal Help Center to the Copiague Library, located at 50 Deauville Boulevard in Copiague, on Friday, February 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to provide free legal assistance to local residents directly affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Lindenhurst High School is hosting the Souper Bowl of Caring Charity Cook-Off Fundraiser on , from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Local restaurants, community groups and faculty will donate plenty of chili, soup and homemade breads for attendees to eat. The event is free to attend, though all donations will be given to the Sandy Relief Fund.

On Saturday, February 2, Adopt a House will be collecting letters to mail en masse to send New York State's United States senators and governor. The non-profit organization is asking residents to help reach its goal of 5,000 letters to send to Governor Andrew Cuomo and Senators Chucker Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. According to Adopt a House, the letter blitz will "deal specifically with the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program."

Adopt a House will be in Lindenhurst with Camp Bulldog and UNIQLO at Harding Avenue Elementary School and at the Knights of Columbus-OLPH Council #794 on South Broadway from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. UNIQLO, a global clothing retailer, and Camp Bulldog will deliver warm clothing donations to hundreds of individuals and families affected by Sandy at Harding Avenue Elementary School and the Lindenhurst Knights of Columbus this Saturday, too.
