4. The Meatball Place in Patchogue will host a fundraiser to help the Homebound Vets organization. Long Island has 24,00 disabled veterans and activities such as going grocery shopping or cooking can be challenging at times. The money raised in the event will help the nonprofit Homebound Vets, which is an organization that cooks for LI vets. The Meatball Place is located at 52 West Main St. in Patchogue and the event will be held on March 10 from 6-9 p.m. (LI Advance)
5. Nearby News: A 19th-century barn that is located at Old Field Farm is ready to become a Setauket history museum. The Three Village Historical Society plans to rebuild the barn in a project that will cost $1.3 million. The museum will be under construction at the society's North Country Road headquarters. The ground was broken Saturday, and the museum is planned to open next year. (Newsday/Subscription Required)
