Cutchogue-New Suffolk: New Suffolk School Enrichment Fund to hold fall bulb sale, Oct. 1

The cascades of water from back-to-back tropical storms that swept across the Northeast left several small upstate communities devastated by massive flooding. Denise Thilberg, Kevin Lynch and Greg Tyler took it to heart to help those in need and, with the generosity and support of our community, transported a trailer full of clothing and toiletries to the flood victims.

Old Town Art & Crafts Guild will host a country antiques fair and bake sale on Saturday, Oct. 8, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The contents of local North Fork homes and estates will be featured, along with home-baked goodies, a white elephant table and more.

This in from Suzanne Conlin: “The summer collection of recycled ‘Cell Phones for Soldiers’ has yielded another 100 calling cards … Bravo for our community efforts in helping military families and loved ones stay in touch. Please continue to keep those old cell phones coming. The red boxes remain in the post office for collection, especially through the holiday season. Help give our troops the best holiday gift ever, a chance to hear the voices of their loved ones. Donate today and help military families cope with deployment. Remember: Freedom doesn’t come free — especially to the families of those who serve.”

Girl Scout Troop 156 was busy collecting old/unusable CDs and DVDs over the last school year and this past week they installed them at Martha Clara Vineyard to help keep birds from eating the grapes at harvest time. The girls will continue their recycling efforts from October through May, so look for the dropoffs at the Mattituck-Laurel Library recycling center, Cutchogue New Suffolk Library children’s room and Cutchogue East lobby.
