Adopt a Black Cat, Get a Gift Certificate to Cafe Max and More on This Thursday

Good morning, East Hampton.

— The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons has teamed up with Cafe Max restaurant in East Hampton this month. Adopt a black kitten or cat or any adult cat (over the age of 1) during the month of October and receive a gift certificate to Cafe Max. In honor of all black cats, I've posted a picture of my black cat, whose name is Nas.

— This morning, I'm headed to the groundbreaking ceremony at the Kraus Family Health Center of the Hamptons at Southampton Hospital, which will replace the county-operated health centers in Southampton and East Hampton. A family practice, women’s health services and dental services will all be provided at the new state-of-the-art facility at the Southampton Hospital annex. Check back later for more details.
