Relay For Life Celebrates 10 Years in Port Washington on June 18th at Sousa School

Only 39 days left until the 10th anniversary celebration of Relay for Life. To date there are 35 teams with 209 participants signed up - our goal is to triple that number! You can help! 

Last year's event attracted over 350 attendees, 70 teams and raised an impressive $115,000 for vital cancer support services, research and advocacy. Relay for Life offers the Port Washington community a chance to come together to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. The event will have a feel that is both festive and solemn and will include live music, activities for kids (of all ages), a special Survivor Dinner for local cancer survivors at 5pm, an inspirational Opening Ceremony with the Port Washington Fire Department Color Guard and special guest speakers at 7 p.m., and the moving Luminaria lighting ceremony at 9 p.m. 


There's a place for you at Relay for Life. You can make a difference today...sign up online to start your own team, help with event planning or simply make a donation. For more information:www.Relayforlife.org/portwashington.ny or contact event co-chairs, Nora Johnson atnorahjohnson@yahoo.com or Lee Anne Vetrone-Timothy at eventmakr@aol.com.

Good Luck Adina!

Congratulations Adina! Well deserved.
Rich Jacques (Editor) May 25, 2013 at 08:19 am
Because of her outstanding work, Adina has been promoted to a new position at Patch. She has takenRead More on more of a regional role, but you will still get to enjoy much of her work here in Port Washington.

I hope the closing is only temporary. I purchased milk and other items from Dairy Barn for manyRead More years. Always got good quality products. Never had a problem.
Nassau Taxpayer May 23, 2013 at 03:55 pm
With the loss of "D-Barn", the lack of a drive-through convenience store creates a voidRead More worth filling.

There was very little publicity about the budget this year. I was disappointed that the increase wasRead More over 3.5 percent. We still haven't addressed the salary issues and maybe we never will. Until the salary and benefit package is decreased, there will never be a reduction in the cost of education in Port Washinton.
NYB May 23, 2013 at 03:33 pm
What does it matter? No matter what you do, the budget increase will pass. Just empty your pocketsRead More and move on.

Historically, that was a problem with "NO" voters...

There's a lot "Dina" doesn't know -- or sure acts like it, and an obvious and growingRead More amount she wishes the electorate didn't know about her failure to perform for PW.

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.
Nassau Taxpayer May 23, 2013 at 12:52 pm
Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.
Bob May 20, 2013 at 06:28 pm
I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.

A 135 million dollar budget with another 5 million+ assured for next year, teachers have to buyRead More "school supplies" in Port Washington? Are you kidding?
