Our Schools and Communities
Dr. Lorraine Pincus gave a presentation "What's Going On In Our Schools And In Our Communities These Days?" at our regular meeting on Wednesday, June 28th.
Dr. Krish Gujavarty gave a comprehensive introduction of today’s guest speaker, Dr. Lorraine Pincus, a Clinical and School Social Worker – Youth and Family Services in the Connetquot Central School District.
