ECCA’s Weekly Newsletter: May 25, 2024

Greetings Neighbor!

Happy Saturday and Wishing You a Great Start to a 3 Day Weekend, well, at least for most of us!

Memorial Day is Monday, May 28th and some of us will have some barbecue, catch a sail, do some Spring cleaning or just do nothing. If you’re looking for something to do within the five boroughs, here is a list of things to do, or if you’d like to stay local, here are some events that are happening in Queens.

While the festivities begin, what do you really know about Memorial Day and why is it celebrated? Memorial Day, which usually falls on the last Monday of the month, is an American holiday and a day of national awareness to honor and remember the men and women who fought and lost their lives in military service while fighting for their country. If you don’t know a Veteran or someone who is active in the military, join in on one of the festivities and thank them for their service.
