SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — Without community leaders, Sayville-Patchogue wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.
Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.
This submission comes from Rita Siniski, a Sayville-Patchogue reader who nominated Helen Falabella.
