Mostly sunny. High: 52 Low: 40.

Here are the top three stories in Miller Place-Rocky Point today:

1. A Rocky Point High School senior and Long Island Lending a Helping Hand (LILAHH) are collecting used prom dresses for any student who needs one. On April 16 and 17, a free prom dress shopping event will take place at LILAHH's outreach center. (Patch)

Today’s newsletter is brought to you by Ring, a Patch Brand Partner. We all know that Ring is the leader in video doorbells for home security. But did you know that Ring now makes a home security system that is getting raves from consumer electronic experts? (Reviewers at CNET called the new system — known as the Ring Alarm Pro — “a giant leap for home security.”) So why the kudos?

In a nutshell: the Ring Alarm Pro can protect your home both online and off. It includes a built-in eero Wi-Fi 6 router to help you get reliable physical and digital security in one, innovative device. Now you can help protect your home with all of the benefits of the Ring Alarm, to keep your home safe and secure, while experiencing fast, reliable connectivity.
