Wow… That’s a lot of Thumbs Down for a Good Cause.
But Haters will Always be Haters!
Hope none of you, Ever Need Blood in an Emergency!!
Fortunately, there are Still lots of Good People in Sunnyside/Woodside!
People were lined up for the Whole Day to Donate Blood. And some didn’t even know about the Free Mets Tickets, and it didn’t matter, because they were there for the Right Reason!

Love from Sunnyside

It’s Ok, when people don’t like the same team.
But we should come together for a common good.
At least donate Blood, when ever you can. Not all this Negative rhetoic.
We should be Embassadors for our community and our City.
I’m Embarrassed.

Which is more unpleasant — a needle in your arm or sitting through a Mets game? At least the needle pain only lasts a few seconds.

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
