🌱 East Hampton Daily: Meet Keoki The Dog + Robotics Team Fundraiser

Happy Tuesday, people of East Hampton! Diane Witek here to get you all caught up on what's happening locally to start today off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Occasional afternoon rain. High: 52, low: 44.

Here are the top stories today in East Hampton:

1. See the latest pets up for adoption in the East Hampton area. Consider looking around at a local adoption agency like Animal Rescue Fund Of The Hamptons Inc, where Keoki the dog is waiting to meet you. Or you may consider fostering. Offering a needy animal a safe, comforting and supportive environment while she waits to be adopted, helps socialize a shelter pet to enhance her adoption potential. (East Hampton Patch)
2. See who's hiring in the East Hampton area. Are you good with people? Do you like talking on the phone? Well there are plenty of customer service and sales jobs listed this week. Good luck on your interview! (East Hampton Patch)
3. Westhampton Beach robotics team is fundraising in hopes of going to international championship. As of Saturday, the GoFundMe raised just over $24,000, slightly more than halfway to its $40,000 goal. Help this team make it to Houston! (Greater Long Island)
4. Carl Yastrzemski, Jr., legendary Boston Red Sox leftfielder and first baseman, is a former Bridgehampton High School student, who starred on the football, basketball and baseball teams. Today, the Suffolk County Hall of Fame will place a historic marker alongside the new baseball field at Bridgehampton High School to honor the place "Yaz" once called home. (Subscription: Newsday)
