Greetings Family, Friends and Associates:

On Tuesday, April 15, 2009, S.O.N.I.A.Y., Inc., sponsored another success college tour. We visited Villanova University. I would like to thank North Babylon NBTO, Steve Harvey and Bishop Mackey for supporting the trip. Collectively, Brother Steve Harvey and I were able to recruit 11 students and one parent (Officer Darrin Green). Villanova provided an excellent and informative tour. The guide provided a sense of multiculturalism and community. Please enjoy the pictures below from Villanova.
