Good morning, friends! It's me, Diane Witek, your host of the Sunset Park Daily. Let's get this day started off right, with a quick guide to everything you need to know about what's going on in town...

First, today's weather:

Less humid with some sun. High: 77, low: 69.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Sunset Park who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Sunset Park Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Sunset Park:

1. Looking to adopt a pet? Check out the available pets in the Sunset Park area. Meet Captain Cooper, a hound mix from Tennessee that loves to play. Or if cats are your "thing," meet Tank he is a lover, not a fighter. Please consider fostering if adopting is not possible at this time. These animals deserve a welcoming home. (Sunset Park Patch)
2. Who's hiring in the Sunset Park area? There are many high paying jobs listed, even if you are looking for part-time work, it's all there in Patch. See more job openings on the Sunset Park Patch jobs board. (Sunset Park Patch)
