Assemblyman Yevoli Starts His Term
Assemblyman Lewis J.
Yevoli termed his first Public
Forum, held last Thursday
(January 2, 1975), "as a very
successful evening, one that
proved to be most informative
and enlightening." Almost forty
people attended the session at the
Plainview-Old Bethpage Library
which lasted more than two
hours. "In addition to the
deplorable state of our economy,
the discussion involved numerous
topics ranging from the possible
improvement of bus tran­sportation
in Nassau County, to
the necessity of increased aid to
local school districts," Yevoli
said.
"These forums are intended to
give the public an opportunity to
be heard on any subject which
they consider important and to
appraise them of significant
legislation being proposed in
Albany," Yevoli said. "Last
week s meeting also produced the
formation of several Citizens
Advisory Committees covering
such areas as Consumer Affairs,
Transportation, Education, Town
Affairs, etc.," he said. "The
committees can be extremely
important in terms of drafting
valuable legislation that ex­presses
the views of my con­stituents.
This will give the
residents of the 10th Assembly
District a unique opportunity to
actively participate in the
governmental legislative
process," he added.
Yevoli concluded by saying, "I
sincerely believe that in order to
Lewis J. Yevoli (R) is shown as he was officially sworn in as a
member of the New York State Assembly by Nassau County Court
Judge Alfred F. Samenga. The Installation ceremony took place at
the Wm. M. G Gouse V.F.W. Post in Hicksville on Sunday December
29,1974 before a capacity crowd of 450 well wishers.
Prizes include two Aurora-

which have been providing an
exciting pastime for children and
adults. Another unusual prize will
be a Panasonic digital clock-radio,
a fit conversation item for
any young boy's room.
And there will be pairs of
tickets for February Islander and
Net games at the Nassau
Coliseum and two Ranger tickets

The program on Saturday
February 1st will begin promptly
at 7:30 p.m. with the showing of
the 1974 World Series color film.
be an effective legislator you
have to work closely with the
people you represent. These
monthly Public forums are in­tended
to give the public a voice
in government. I am certain the
experience will prove to be most
successful."
Yevoli also announced that he
has opened a local office at 99
Railroad Station Plaza,
Hicksville to service constituents
of the 10th Assembly District.
The office, in Suite 204, will be
open Monday through Friday,
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and by
appointment on Saturday from
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon.
According to Yevoli, while he is
in Albany during the Legislative
session, an aide will be available
in the District to answer
questions, relay messages and
make appointments. When the
session is in recess, the Assembly
man will make his headquarters
at the Hicksville office.
"Opening this office on a full
time basis is the fulfillment of a
campaign pledge Imade to the
people of this District. I believe
it's an important link between the
people and their representative."
Yevoli said "To my knowledge
this is the first full time office -
not connected with a business,
exclusively for legislative
matters - ever established in the
10th Assembly District."
The phone number of the new
Assembly District Office is 935-
4131.
