More than $50,000 was raised at the event.

HIHI was specifically created to address this issue and to provide vital services to this growing population.
> Legislator Jon Cooper presented a proclamation to Aidan Dwyer, a third grader at Ocean Avenue School in Northport. Aidan was honored for his impressive achievement in winning the third grade prize in the 2007 Elementary School Science Fair hosted by Brookhaven National Laboratory. Aidan's research project looked at different types of flying insects he observed in his backyard. He conducted experiments to determine which insect wing designs were the best and ultimately discovered that different wing designs help insects perform different jobs. To win the competition, Aidan had to compete against third grade students from over 100 elementary schools across Suffolk County. Legislator Cooper is shown here with Aidan and his proud father.

> Legislator Jon Cooper was the Honorary Host for the 2007 "Long Island's Best: Young Artists at the Heckscher" reception, which was held at the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington. Long Island's Best is a well-established and long-standing program that is in many ways the centerpiece of the Heckscher Museum's robust schedule of educational programs. As an incentive for students and teachers that participate in the museum's School Discovery Program, 9th through 12th grade high school students are invited to create their own original artworks inspired by works of art on view at the museum.

> Suffolk County Majority Leader Jon Cooper was honored as the 2007 Legislator of the Year at the Parents for Megan's Law "Champion for Children Awards". This not-for-profit organization is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse through the provision of education, advocacy, counseling, victims services policy and legislative support services. Last year, Legislator Cooper authored two important pieces of legislation to protect our children from sexual predators. One law makes it illegal for Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders (the most dangerous and most likely to re-offend) to loiter near playgrounds, youth centers, video arcades and other locations where children are likely to gather. The second law prohibits any convicted sex offender from residing within one-quarter mile of schools, day care centers and playgrounds. Cooper is shown with Laura Ahearn, Executive Director of Parents for Megan's Law.
> Legislative Majority Leader Jon Cooper joined Governor Eliot Spitzer, County Executive Steve Levy and other elected officials at a bill signing ceremony for legislation he co-sponsored that will change the process for redrawing legislative district lines in Suffolk County. What made this historic is that county legislators agreed to surrender their power to draw the districts in which they run for election. This landmark law, the first of its kind in New York State, will end the process commonly known as "gerrymandering," in which districts are oddly shaped to either exclude, or include, certain demographics and voting blocs. This important reform measure will empower voters and provide them with real choices on Election Day. The law will set up a non-partisan commission comprised of four retired judges, two minority community leaders and two voter rights/good government organizations to draft reapportionment plans in the future.
> With Indian Island County Park's scenic Peconic River as a backdrop, Legislator Jon Cooper held a press conference to announce his plan to champion the single largest environmental protection initiative in the history of Long Island. If approved by the voters in a ballot referendum, Cooper's program would generate an estimated $475 million for environmental protection measures, with $350 million dedicated to open space and farmland preservation and $125 million committed to water quality protection and land stewardship initiatives. Cooper was joined by other county legislators and leading environmentalists who expressed their support for his historic proposal.
