Our selfless health care workers need our help. Hospitals and nursing homes in our own backyard are running out of masks. You can help by making masks--watch the video below. Drop them off at Stony Brook ELIH, San Simeon by the Sound, and Peconic Landing.

In these challenging times--especially if you're a baseball fan--alternative sports can bring a smile to your face.

The moral? When you're struggling, it's okay to ask for help.

In troubled times, inspiration and comfort can be found in an old Sioux saying: “With all things and in all things, we are relatives.“ Please take care of yourselves, your family, and your most vulnerable neighbors.
