May 19: School Board Meeting

It's Thursday in Massapequa and we hope one of these days we're hoping to be reintroduced to the sun for more than a short period of time.

It's been a bit of a gloomy week in Massapequa, but it's also been a busy one.  Much of the news out of the area has been related to schools and Thursday is no exception. 

We also have an interesting seminar and a big playoff game on today's agenda.

Each day, we spotlight events and happenings in and around the area that we think  you ought to know about. We want your help too. If there's an event or announcement you'd like us to highlight, please contact us.
