This is an American Planning Association event – but you do not need to be an APA member to join us. Anyone interested in planning is welcome! There will be a 50-50 raffle, door prizes and raffle baskets!  All funds raised will be used for future planning scholarships.

Location: Mesita Amityville located at 8 Greene Avenue, Amityville, NY from 5 pm to 7:30 pm (or later)!

Tickets: Individual ticket price is $25 and includes 1 beverage and appetizers. Tickets are available for purchase at: https://events.humanitix.com/apalongisland-org 

Sponsorships available for between $100 and $250 to support raffles, appetizers and beverages! Please email Kathy Eiseman, APA LI Section Treasurer, at keiseman@nelsonpope.com if you are interested in sponsoring this event.

Last week the Long Island planning community unexpectedly lost a great man and a great planner. Michael Levine was an experienced and thoughtful planner – and a key member of our APA family. Michael played a critical role in establishing the Long Island Section of the APA NY Metro Chapter, serving as its first director from 1996-1998. He continued to contribute and has helped the Section grow for nearly 30 years. We are all thankful for his guidance, expertise and commitment to serving the public.

Information for Michael’s service and visitation hours are provided below. Please keep Michael and the Levine family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
