Though all equally beneficial, collecting toys, canned food and arts & crafts is easier than collecting women's business attire and shoes for the work place. So we're going to need a head start! Please ask your dry cleaners, ask your friends, clean out your closets, because in addition to igniting business, on this night, we’ll be collecting business attire and shoes to help women who have been victims of violence. Not an easy task, but LI Networkers have a way of getting things done!

Back Page Sports Report/ PLAY BALL!!! ...

If a regular employee missed as many days as Mets superstars Jose Reyes & Carlos Beltran, they'd be fired and theirCOBRA benefits would have expired!!! Both players missed most of last year and had the entire off season to recuperate and they're still not ready for opening day!!! It doesn't matter how talented you are if you don't play. Play Ball!!!
