June 23: LBHS Prom, Morning Madness, Zoning Board Meets

You want to find out about daily happenings in Long Beach, right? Then visit Patch, where each weekday morning we post five things we think should know that day. We'll inform you about sporting events, local fundraisers and any important stories you may have glossed over. Here's what Thursday has in store:

1. Long Beach High School holds its Senior Prom at 7:30 p.m. at Chateau Briand in Carle Place, followed by the drug and alcohol-free Morning Madness party from 12 to 6 a.m. at Dave & Busters in Carle Place.

2. The Long Beach Zoning Board of Appeals holds it regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Among the items on the agenda is a proposal to open a new restaurant with a full bar at 124 E. Park Avenue.

3. An hour-long Mother Daughter Book Discussion is scheduled at the Long Beach Public Library starting at 7:45 p.m. The featured book this session is The Penderwicks at Point Mouette by Jeanne Birdsall.

4. If you did the unthinkable and failed to log on to Patch yesterday, then you missed our Question of the Day about the second coming of the animal shelter in Long Beach, a story about the unemployment rate on the rise once again in the city, and our police report that has expanding to include certain crimes or crime patters in Island Park and Oceanside.

5. Long Beach Patch is stepping up its use of Twitter to report more local news and information, ask questions and otherwise engage our readers more. So make sure you follow us, as well as like us on Facebook.
