The Ospreys will soon return to the North Fork. The Ospreys baseball team, that is. Host families are needed for the players. If you can provide a bed and bath for a team member this summer, please contact Joe Finora at 298-4086. Many local families enjoyed watching the team compete in a family-friendly environment at Tasker Park last summer. Consider hosting one of these fine young men in your home and join the Osprey family!

Artwork by SHS students is currently on display throughout Southold Free Library. Curated by art teacher Dan Gosnell, the students’ work can be viewed through May.

Do you plan to travel soon? Have you just returned from a vacation? The “Traveler’s Suitcase” on the upper level of the library contains brochures and maps for your next journey. If you have any travel brochures you’d like to donate for others’ reference, stop by the library and they’ll be gratefully accepted.

Another young life was taken from us much too soon this past week. Jeff Hunter passed away suddenly, but not without leaving his family and friends with some great memories. Sincere sympathy to his family.
