Mattituck News: Car show coming to Veterans Park Sunday
September is in full swing and you can tell school is in session by the hustle and bustle all around town. Despite how busy you are, take a moment today to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11 and salute and honor those who responded to the events of that fateful day. United we stand tall!
The Mattituck Fire Department invites you to Veterans Park on Sunday, Sept. 14, for a car show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sounds like a nice way to spend the afternoon.
Seventh- and eighth-graders are participating in a Pampered Chef fundraiser to help offset the cost of the eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C. They’ll also be selling magazines and poinsettias later in the year to help this effort. For many, this will the first — sometimes the only — time they’ll get to our nation’s capital and these fundraisers have been very helpful in the past. If you aren’t in touch with a junior high student, feel free to call me at 298-8471, ext. 3269, and I’ll facilitate your purchase.
The junior class is also fundraising this month by selling mums to help pay the cost of the prom. Mums are available in two sizes and three colors and will be delivered to the school Monday, Sept. 29. Place your orders by Sept. 24. Contact Andrea Donals at the school with any questions.
