🌱 Southampton Daily: Town Offices Closed Monday + Queer Fire Island

Hi there, Southampton! I'm here in your inbox today to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town. Here we go.

First, today's weather:

Breezy in the morning. High: 74, low: 60.

Here are the top stories today in Southampton:

1. "Southampton Town Board unanimously adopted resolutions which allow for the amendment of the 2022 holiday schedule to include the observance of Juneteenth on Monday, June 20." All town offices will be closed. (Southampton Town - Government via Facebook)
2. For Father's Day weekend, Splish Splash Water Park hosted a belly flop contest. Anton Younes, of Riverhead, took the top spot this year, winning a season pass and tickets to a Long Island Ducks game! (News 12 Brooklyn)
3. An inclusive new book, “Fire Island: A Century in the Life of an American Paradise” by British author Jack Parlett, advocates the "queer side of Fire Island by telling the history of the holiday resort through the eyes of renowned authors." (New York Daily News)

From my notebook:

• Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation: "Meet 𝗔𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀!⁠ ⁠ She is a lovable little gal that was found as a stray. She can’t wait to find a fun and loving family to give her a forever home. 𝗔𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀 is ready for adventure and tons of snuggles. She also gets along with other." (Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation via Facebook) (Website)
• Noyac Civic Council: "From Senator Anthony Palumbo: Special STAR rebate checks for homeowners are on the way. If you qualify for STAR or Enhanced STAR, the NYS Tax Department has begun to issue rebate checks and expects most homeowners will receive them before." (Noyac Civic Council via Facebook)
