There is a lot of new construction going on in our area, and I’ve also seen several homes receiving repairs and upgrades. If you consider yourself a handyman, architect, or are in general contracting, here is an event you won’t want to miss!On Thursday, August 6, Speonk Lumber at 207 Montauk Highway will be hosting a Charity Sidewalk Sale, with all proceeds benefiting Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, a sleep-away camp for special needs children in Center Moriches.
According to Grant Werner of Speonk Lumber, items in the sale will include new, previously unsold merchandise, including Andersen and Marvin windows, interior and exterior doors, millwork items, roofing, siding, moldings and more. Mr. Werner shared that Speonk Lumber can recommend local contractors to anyone needing assistance with installation of any purchased item.
“The largest inventory needed to liquidate is in Andersen windows, which will be going for pennies on the dollar,” Mr. Werner noted.
The sale will run from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and is open to the public. Complimentary hot dogs and ice cream will be offered as well! Be sure to make your list now, and stop down to shop and help support Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck.
A little factoid: This camp has been in operation for the past 68 years! It is because of private donations from local businesses and organizations, along with the Moriches Rotary Club, that the camp is able to open its doors to the kids each year. So, a big thank you goes out to Speonk Lumber for giving back to our neighboring community.
Another local event to consider putting on your calendar is happening on Friday, August 7, at the beautiful and historic Remsenburg Community Church on South Country Road, also known to many as “the red brick church.”
In his first performance in Remsenburg and the Hamptons, classical guitar soloist Lyle Sheffler will perform at 7:30 p.m. and should finish around 9 p.m. A reception will follow the recital inside the White Chapel.
While there is no charge to attend, a suggested donation of $20 is appreciated. All are welcome.
During the performance, Mr. Sheffler will talk about the pieces he is playing, which will begin with “Sonata K. 322” by Domenico Scarlatti and conclude with a performance of “Grand Solo Op. 14” by Fernando Sor. The Plainview native who now lives in San Francisco is set to perform eight pieces with a brief intermission.

In recent news about our local students, Erin Gomez of Eastport, a 2012 graduate of the Eastport South Manor High School, has made the Dean’s List for the spring semester at SUNY Cortland, where she is majoring in outdoor recreation. Way to go, Erin!
I’m also told that Brenna Hanratty of Speonk has been named to the University of Delaware Dean’s List for the spring semester. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
