β’ Play ball! When Long Island women played pro baseball (newsday.com) β Women from Huntington once played professional-style baseball on Long Island, starring for the Huntington Manorettes and drawing players from Huntington High School and local defense plants. This deep dive into midβcentury women's leagues highlights how Huntington athletes helped pioneer televised women's games and broke barriers in a maleβdominated sport, long before today's renewed push for women's pro baseball.

β’ The Giving Table partners with Long Island restaurants to raise money (newsday.com) β Two Huntington spots, IMC Restaurant & Bar and Crabtree's New York & Main, are joining The Giving Table, where ordering certain dishes sends donations to Angela's House, which supports medically fragile children. Huntington diners can enjoy featured plates like branzino crudo or Wagyu skirt steak while contributing a few dollars per order, with organizers hoping to grow monthly fundraising as more Long Island restaurants sign on.

β’ Babylon Mass an appeal with prayer to spotlight threats to immigrants (newsday.com) β A Huntington Station pastor joined other Long Island clergy in a special Babylon Mass urging Catholics to stand with immigrants facing deportation and family separation. With most of his St. Hugh of Lincoln parishioners coming from Central America, he and fellow advocates called for stronger legal protections, support for immigrant-owned businesses, and participation in local justice groups responding to stepped-up federal enforcement.
