Good Afternoon! Can you please send me a list of any films you will be showing for the public in 2019. The residents at Dominican Village may want to take a trip to Douglaston unless there is another affiliation you may have closer to Nassau/ County border. We are located in Amityville. Thank you so much. Sarah Fitzpatrick, Activities Director 631-842-6167
