Legislator D’Amaro Announces Suffolk County Senior Citizen ID Card Community Outreach Program
Huntington Station, NY - August 26, 2013 - Suffolk Legislator Lou D’Amaro (D-Huntington Station) is proud to announce that his office will be holding Senior Citizen Community Outreach Programs at several convenient Babylon and Huntington locations during the month of September to provide free Suffolk County Senior Citizens Identification Cards for residents ages 60 and older. These ID cards are required for the reduced fare on the Suffolk County Bus and also can be used to receive discounts at many area businesses.

September dates, locations and times are as follow:

“While I will continue to provide Senior ID cards and related information free of charge at my office, I wanted to give our local seniors even more opportunities to receive access to all of the discounts and programs provided by the County’s Office for the Aging,” said Legislator D’Amaro. “Accordingly, I am pleased to be able to bring these services directly into our communities and I look forward to meeting many seniors during our September Outreach Events. I thank the participating venues for serving as host sites for these programs and encourage interested residents to drop by and visit.”
