Webelos II den of Southold Pack 6 did an interesting fundraiser recently. They collected cans and bottles for the five-cent return fee. When it was all added up, the boys collected $318 — that’s more than 6,000 bottles and cans! The den then donated the money to the Southold Town animal shelter. The den consists of Noah Berry, Stephen Clements, Bobby Doehring, Jack Goscinski, Michael Lucak, Justin McGreevy, Matthew Molnar and Brendan Mullen. Great job, boys!
Seventh-grader Juliet Rand has been invited to sing the national anthem at the Walt Whitman Birthplace in Huntington Station for its 30th annual Student Poetry Contest awards ceremony on Sunday, June 5.
My next deadline is early because of Memorial Day. I think I just heard the entire town groan or cheer. Cheer for summer and foot traffic for businesses. Or groan for the traffic the holiday marks. So my deadline for the June 2 issue is Wednesday, May 25, no later than noon.
Find time to enjoy the little things. They will help boost you up when the big stuff hits!
