Looking out past the back deck, I have spotted these twin fawns several times. Mom drops them off, like at day care, while she forages nearby. I believe she has told them to stay in place because they do not move until she returns, no matter how long it takes.

Ocean Bay Park brought its A-game to a weekend full of purpose, play, and community pride. With fundraising totals soaring and neighborly generosity on full display, Ocean Bay Park once again proved no Fire Island community does it quite like this one.

Weekends are always shorter at the beach; fortunately, our memories are long. That was in evidence at the Davis Park Fire Department's Rock Memorial Ceremony, held annually to commemorate members who had answered their last alarm. Following a blessing by Father Frank, Chief Craig Beane read the names of those who served, including our own dearly departed, as gathered family and friends quietly shared stories. Please support the Department in their fundraising efforts with a 400 Club Raffle Ticket. You can also inquire about signage for the beautiful new pergola outside the firehouse.

Michael and I attended the 47th Annual Lambda Legal Fundraiser in Fire Island Pines. The reception was held at the home of Matthew Mitchell. Many were in attendance. The party continued Saturday afternoon with a pool party at James Dale and David Lam’s spectacular house on the Ocean. Ken Jennings, CEO of Lambda Legal, spoke powerfully about our government’s revised positions on the gay and trans populations. Lambda work remains essential and relevant. We must support them so they can continue the fight. In attendance was New York State Assemblyman Tony Simone (District 75, West Side of Manhattan.)
