🌱 'Share the Warmth' At Emma Clark Library + Holiday Party At Mario's

Hey, neighbors. It's me, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Three Village Daily — here to explain all the most important things happening in the community today. In today's issue of the Daily, you'll find these stories and more...

• Emma S. Clark Library is accepting donations.
• Three Village students learn about poetry with a high school student.
• Chamber of Commerce Holiday Party at Mario's and more!

But first, today's weather:

Windy with periods of rain. High: 58, low: 34.

Here are the top four stories today in Three Village:

1. Emma Clark S. Memorial Library invites the community to "Share the Warmth." Items like hats, gloves, socks, and mittens are being collected and donated to local charities. The drop-off box is in the library lobby. All are welcome to contribute! (Emma S. Clark Library)
2. Nassakeag Elementary School students learned the "Power of Poetry" with Ella O'Connor, a Ward Melville High School student. Ella inspired the group by encouraging them to write about profound themes like Youth can change the world, poetry can change minds, and what you say matters. (Three Village School District)
3. Three Village Chamber of Commerce has its registrations open for whoever wants to participate in the Holiday Party on Dec. 12 at Mario's Restaurant in Setauket. Tickets are $55 for non-members. The venue is 212 Main Street in East Setauket, and the party starts at 6 p.m. Register for this event here. (Three Village Chamber of Commerce)
4. Photo Gallery: Did you attend the Port Jefferson annual Christmas parade last weekend? The pouring rain did not stop the community from seeing "Santa Claus" marching on Main Street. Click on the link to check twenty pictures of the event. (Greater Long Island)
