🌱 North Fork Daily: Ukraine Prayer Vigil + 4-Car Cutchogue Crash

Happy Tuesday, North Fork neighbors and friends! Once again, the community will come together during a crisis. On Sunday, a prayer vigil will be held in Orient for the people of Ukraine. The event will feature not just prayer but conversation, speakers, and fundraising efforts as people open their hearts to help.

Also, don't forget to stop by the Hellenic Snack Bar & Restaurant today, where owner and chef George Giannaris is offering a special "I Stand With Ukraine" menu; all proceeds will be donated to the citizens of Ukraine. Hope to see you there.

Until tomorrow. . .

First, today's weather:

Cooler; breezy in the morning. High: 45 Low: 30.
