Hey, neighbors! It's me, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Sachem Daily. Let's get this Wednesday started off right, with a quick dive into everything you need to know about what's happening in town these days.


First, today's weather:

A little rain in the morning. High: 81 low: 64.


Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:

  1. Celebrate the memory of Meghan Kiefer this Saturday at Tailgaters. The event will be from 1 p.m. on and will donate proceeds to the ECLI VIBES, in memory of Meghan. (Patch)
  2. LI Pride to hold a celebration in Farmingdale. The Main Street parade will kick off at noon on Sunday. "Farmingdale is an amazing downtown with tons of restaurants," CEO of LI Pride David Kilmnick said. "Why not bring Pride to downtown Farmingdale and further enhance the quality of life for LGBTQ Long Islanders and families?" You can check out his interview on Patch in the link. (Patch)
