VFW Post 5350, Westhampton Beach, is holding its 2021 golf outing on Monday, August 30, at the Vineyards Golf Club in Riverhead, a great links-style course.
Golfers may register online at perfectgolfevent.com, and there is a discount if registered on or before July 31. Those wanting to sponsor, donate or purchase a hole sign can visit our new website, vfw5350.org, or call the post at 631-653-9898. Registration, donation and/or hole sign checks may be mailed to VFW Post 5350, 101 Old Riverhead Road, Westhampton Beach, NY 11978. Brochure info may also be seen at Lynne’s Cards and Gifts store on Main Street. We will try to have veterans visit businesses that have purchased hole signs in the past.
Proceeds are used to offer scholarships for both Hampton Bays and Westhampton Beach students, to help needy veterans and their families, to help 911 families, and to support our rather old post.
Thank you very much for your support.

Bought and SoldI am writing in response to last week’s letter, “Pay To Play” [September 11]. At first, some of the names mentioned sounded familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then it hit me. Leon Black — a billionaire...
Working DiligentlyOn Thursday, I attended the Southampton Village Board meeting on traffic and realized I had previously misspoken. I said the trustees had taken only “baby steps” in addressing this issue. I was wrong. The truth is, they have been working...
Open Space ImpactI am hoping you will understand the environmental impact of what natural open space, near watering holes, does for our native wildlife. I can only speak professionally as a New York State licensed expert for our state-protected “species of special...
