Good day, people of East Hampton! It's me again, Diane Witek, your host of the East Hampton Daily.

First, today's weather:

Clouds breaking for some sun. High: 62, low: 53.

Here are the top stories in East Hampton today:

1. The Ladies' Village Improvement Society Silent Auction will be live. The Society aids in village plant and tree care as well as scholarships for high school students. Online bidding starts at noon on May 12 and ends at the LVIS Mini-Fair on June 12. (LVIS)
2. Guestofaguest.com lays out a nicely organized list, by towns, of new shops, restaurants and places to be in The Hamptons. (Guestofaguest.com)
3. Guess what city racks up the most traffic ticket money in NY, well yes, New York City because of the density in population. But did you know the Town of Southampton, beat out East Hampton in traffic tickets? According to the website traffictickets.com these Long Island towns collected the most money from traffic tickets in 2021. (wyrk.com)
4. For Peter Treiber Jr., art and beer are on the same creative level. Using the barley grown and hand harvested at the Treiber farm in Peconic, Treiber, an artist and a farmer, just released his first Treiber (lager) Pilsner beer, in collaboration with the South Fork’s Springs Brewery. For more information, visit springs-brewery.com and treiberfarms.com. (Northforker)
