On Jan. 15, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico (R) and Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) helped to celebrate the 100th birthday of Rocky Point resident, Josie Romano at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sina

Josie was born on January 15, 1925, in Harlem, and was raised in the Bronx. She married Louis Romano in 1946 and together they raised three kids – Celeste, Andrea, and Stephen – and now enjoy 7 grandkids and 10 great grandkids.
Josie spent her younger years delighting audiences across the country with her marionette puppets, did celebrity impersonations, tap danced, and taught line dancing at senior centers up until she was 95 years of age, including at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center.
A longtime volunteer at St. Anthony’s thrift store since 1987, she also cooked meals for seniors at the Sons of Italy and is a beloved part of the community, known for her grace, kindness, and dedication.

Asked what her secret was to such a long life, Josie said, “I love to eat, and once in a while a little drink, when I feel good. That’s about it, and I love to dance.”

Hundreds of brave Special Olympics New York supporters are expected to participate in the 15th annual Polar Plunge: Freezin’ for a Reason at Cedar Beach, 244 Hrbor Beach Road, Mount Sinai on Saturday, Nov. 23, running into the freezing waters of the Long Island Sound to raise funds and awareness for local Special Olympics athletes and programming. 

Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. and the plunge will take place at 11:30 a.m.

Hosted by the Town of Brookhaven, last year’s event attracted 650 plungers and raised $140,000 for Special Olympics New York. 

The Polar Plunge is one of the most popular, profitable, and exciting fundraisers for Special Olympics New York. Participants raise money by asking friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances for donations. 

At a recent Brookhaven Town Board Meeting, Councilwoman Jane Bonner introduced New York Special Olympics athlete Matt Schuster and Director of Development, Alexis Dawson who talked about the annual Polar Plunge and encouraged people to participate and pledge a donation. 

Councilwoman Bonner presented Schuster and Dawson with a proclamation declaring September 28 as Special Olympics Day in the Town of Brookhaven. Schuster also spoke about what it takes to compete and succeed as a Special Olympics athlete, explaining that they train for weeks and months to prepare for local, regional and statewide competition. 

Athletes are supported by more than 5,000 coaches and 4,300 volunteers and are never charged to participate in the programs. It costs $400 to support training and competition for one athlete for one sports season. They rely solely on donations to pay the cost. 

For more information, to register or to donate, please visit www.specialolympics.org. For additional information, call 631-386-8038.
