• Music Under the Stars: 20 Highview at Middle Country Public Library, 101 Eastwood Blvd., Centereach, 7 to 9 p.m., free: "Get down with 20 Highview, a nine-piece powerhouse band specializing in dance classics with funk grooves. They will cover classics from the 60s up to the present day. As this concert will be held outside, patrons should bring their own chairs and blankets.

From my notebook:

• Nextdoor Neighbor, Miller Place: "Looking for someone to hang a magnetic screen in doorway, clean out one downspout clogged with debris, cut up wood platform and bring to curb, move two ladders to rear of shed and other small jobs." (Nextdoor)
• Nextdoor Neighbor, Miller Place: "Can anyone recommend a mobile groomer for two dogs both about 50 pounds, one short coat and one medium coat? Would mostly be for nail trims—grinding preferred over actual cutting." (Nextdoor)
