Volunteers needed
The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to participate in an Oyster Bay Harbor Cleanup, scheduled for Saturday, October 26, at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay near the gazebo. Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Bay, this event offers volunteers — individuals,
families, companies and organizations — an opportunity to give back to the environment by removing litter and debris from the shoreline. Certificates are available upon request for students seeking to fulfill volunteer requirements. “This is a great opportu-
nity to roll up your sleeves, giveback to Mother Earth, and have fun while learning more about our local marine life and environment,” said Town Supervisor Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “I hope to see you at the Oyster Bay Harbor Cleanup.” See page 8

Blood drive collects 32 pints
The Town of Oyster Bay recently partnered with the New York Blood Center to collect 32 pints of blood at a recent Collection Drive at the Town’s Hicksville Athletic Center. “Blood donations are critical in helping to secure necessary blood transfusions for patients in hospitals. As blood supplies remain extremely low and the New York Blood Center recently announced an Emergency Blood Shortage, it is so important to help those in need and host these Blood Drives as often as we can,” said Town Clerk Richard LaMarca. “Just one pint of blood can save up to three lives."
