Hello, neighbors. I'm here right on time with your fresh copy of the Sachem Daily, filled with everything you need to know about what's happening in town. Here we go.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny; breezy, humid. High: 85 low: 70.

Here are the top 3 stories in Sachem today:

  1. American Airpower Museum holding D-Day Living History flight experience. "Dozens of Long Islanders will get a rare chance to fly in AAM's iconic WWII C- 47B, one of the few still in original military condition," the museum stated in a news release. "This is a one-of-a-kind immersive educational program, where Living Historians give guests a sense of what 101st and 82nd Airborne Division Paratroopers felt on their incredible 1,200-plane D-Day assault."

  2. PSEG will resume shutting off electric to customers for unpaid bills. They have not shut off electric since the pandemic started over two years ago and will begin again on July 12. "We want to reassure our customers that if they're struggling with their energy bills, we are here to help. We are ready and willing to partner with households who have fallen behind on their bills, as we have been throughout the pandemic," said Rick Walden, vice president of customer services, PSEG Long Island.

  3. ICYMI: Chick-Fil-A is coming to Farmingville. This will be the eighth Chick-Fil-A on the island and will be in the Expressway Plaza Shopping Center at the intersection of Portion Road and County Road 83. (Patch)

Are you a Sachem resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

  • Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
  • Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
  • Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Sachem Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
