Fall Oyster Bay Harbor Cleanup

The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to participate in the Fall Oyster Bay Harbor & Beach Cleanup, scheduled for Saturday, October 1, at the Town’s north shore beaches. The event, held rain or shine, is co-sponsored by the Town of Oyster Bay, the North Oyster Bay Baymen’s Association (NOBBA) and Friends of the Bay. Volunteers — including individuals, groups, families and friends — should meet at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park (off Larrabee Avenue in Oyster Bay) near the waterfront gazebo beginning at 9 a.m. Community Service Certificates are available upon request for students seeking to fulfill volunteer requirements.

“This great environmental cleanup initiative features volunteers and Town employees rolling up their sleeves and working side-by-side to remove litter and debris from the beaches and shoreline areas along Oyster Bay Harbor,” Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “We invite residents of all ages to pitch in and help make a difference in our community! This year’s event will also feature new fun for the family, as a new scavenger hunt will be featured for kids.”

Volunteers are invited to participate in the cleanup, which will run from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The central meeting place will be Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park launching ramps and waterfront gazebo off of Larrabee Avenue, Oyster Bay. Additional locations for the clean-up include Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, Stehli Beach in Bayville and Centre Island Beach in Bayville. Typically, in years past, harbor and beach clean-up events have resulted in about forty thousand pounds of debris collected by volunteers.

Town Councilwoman Laura Maier stated, “Each year, countless amounts of paper, food, plastics and other trash are discarded on beaches or dumped overboard from recreational and commercial vessels. Allowing this litter to remain on our shorelines will only lead to increasingly worse damage for the environment.”

Individuals and groups who are interested in registering for this environmental cleanup should contact the Town’s Department of Environmental Resources at (516) 677-5943 or visit www. oysterbaytown.com.

Town plans blood donation drive

In recognition of World Blood Donor Day and in an effort to help hospitals facing a nationwide blood shortage, the Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to attend a Blood Collection Drive on Thursday, October 6, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Hicksville Athletic Center, located at 167 S. Broadway in Hicksville.

Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “Blood supplies have seriously dwindled as a result of fewer donors during the pandemic. Supplies are critically needed for local hospitals to meet the demand and continue saving lives. Please consider participating in this blood drive to help bolster our blood banks and ensure as many people as possible can be helped. Together, we can give the gift of life though a simple blood donation.”

Appointments are preferred for the Town’s blood drive. To qualify as a donor, a person must be between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone who received a tattoo within the past 12 months is ineligible to donate. It is recommended that donors eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the blood drive. Additionally, all donors will receive a voucher for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen compliments of Councilwoman Laura Maier.

Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh added, “It’s quick, easy, and safe to donate a single pint of blood which can save up to three lives. Donating blood at the Hicksville Athletic Center, is an incredible way for all of us to pitch in and give back, to help ease the burden of our Healthcare Heroes as they continue to provide lifesaving efforts.”

For additional information regarding the Town’s blood drive, contact the Town’s Public Information Office at (516) 624-6380. To make an appointment to donate at this Blood Drive, sign up today at https://bit. ly/3qu80fl
