Important Information For Those With Hearing Impairments

ClearCaptions is a free phone captioning service that provides near real-time call captions of phone conversations for anyone hard-of-hearing or with any form of hearing loss.

Similar to captioned television, ClearCaptions allows for you to read real-time written call captions of what callers say on this revolutionary home phone, your mobile device, or your computer.

This free captioning service is provided by ClearCaptions and paid through a fund administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for anyone hard-of-hearing or with any form of hearing loss. There is no cost to qualified individuals whose hearing loss inhibits their phone use.

For more information, contact Patricia Barna at 631-372-2964

Cleaning For A Reason

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning once per month for four months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning For A Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. For more information, go to www.cleaningforareason.org.
