Good morning, Westhampton-Hampton Bays neighbors and friends! A look today at the headlines shows an important honor in the realm of LGBTQ+ equity for all our East End Stony Brook hospitals and facilities.

Also in the news, Hampton Bays High School students worked with community volunteers to prepare soup for those facing food insecurity — a very real issue, even in the heart of the Hamptons. Such an important life lesson for the kids, who are learning lifelong lessons about giving back.

Until tomorrow. . . .

First, today's weather:

Sunny, breezy and not as cold. High: 40 Low: 23.
