However, the Long Island Council of the Blind has asked me to make a request for volunteer drivers to the bus. As Public transportation is not running at 5AM, id is important that we find an alternative means to the Embassy Diner in Bethpage: we need your assistance. LICB is made up of people who are blind. given this disability, we do not drive. this is a good thing many of us will proclaim; however, we do wish to participate. Please feel free to contact Mike or Lori to let us know of your willingness and availability to help. We have members throughout Nassau and Suffolk, tell us where you are coming from so that we might attempt to set you up with someone on your way. We need to know to build the numbers, so please help. The address for the Diner is: Embassy Diner in Bethpage 4280 Hempstead Turnpike Bethpage, NY 11714-5797 We need to be there by 5:40 AM. Mike and Lori can be contacted at 516-887-1336 Thanks for your help, I look forward to talking with you. Mike Godino Hi all,
