East Meadow Today: Kiwanis Meeting, Hot Dog Day

Here's a rundown of what's to come in East Meadow today and on East Meadow Patch:

East Meadow Kiwanis Meeting: East Meadow Kiwanis will hold a meeting at the Empress Diner beginning at 7:15 p.m. East Meadow High School students who were awarded Kiwanis scholarships will be in attendance, as will Super-Distinguished Past Lieutenant Governor Mickie Leamey, who will speak about pediatric Lyme disease. For more information, contact club president Debbie Kirsh at 662-7451.

Donation to EM Schools: Find out what the East Meadow School District recently received for students in grades K-3 later this morning on East Meadow Patch.

Bring-Your-Own-Bag Incentive: How do you feel about Stop & Shop discontinuing its Bring-Your-Own-Bag incentive? Stop & Shop New York Metro Division president Don Sussman said the rebate program, which gave customers five cents back each time they reused a shopping bag, "reached a plateau in its effectiveness." Will you still use reusable bags? Weigh in on the conversation here.

Hot Dog Day: Did you know Tuesday is Hot Dog Day? According to www.daysoftheyear.com, the day is an "opportunity to raise money for charities whilst combining large quantities of sausages, bread, ketchup, mustard and onions."
