"A sincere thank you to Civil Service Employees Association(CSEA) members from every part of New York who helped respond to Hurricane Sandy. Many CSEA members from Long Island, New York City and the lower Hudson Valley were directly involvd in the front line activities during the storm and in its immediate aftermath. Thousands more left their homes and traveled hundreds of miles to help as part of organized response teams or volunteer efforts. Still others are unsung heroes continuing to help pick up lives every day in ways that don't get a lot of attention. CSEA is proud of all you and we are grateful for your dedication and compassion. We must all continue to work together to rebuild a better New York."
