🌱 North Fork Daily: Child Saved + Outdoor Movies Denied

Hi, North Fork friends and neighbors! The entire East End is sending love and prayers to a little girl badly injured in a crash on Rt. 24 Thursday. But thanks to town employees and EMTs, she survived. That's the essence of what our first responders, town staffers, and police officers epitomize — they are the heartbeat of our community. Heroes among us. Thank you, to all of you, for all you do.
