Aquebogue News: Fundraiser, ‘Wine and Noses,’ set for July 31
A very special congratulations to the Corwin family — parents Blake and Jasmine Corwin and big sister, Lila. Their new addition, Quinn Marie, was born July 7 at 1:24 a.m. This sweet baby girl weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 20 1/2 inches. Jasmine says Lila is loving every moment with her new baby sister. Congratulations!
The Northville Beach Civic Association is proud to announce its 2014 academic scholarship winners. The scholarships are supported by the Riverhead Lions and the United Terminal of Riverhead. Each year, applicants from the association are asked to write an essay about their connection to Northville. It can be a memory, a tradition shared, a reflection or an environmental concern or issue. This year’s first-place winner is Alyssa Vicari, who will attend Fairfield University. Second place went to Sarah Richardson, who will attend Le Moyne College. Scholarships will be awarded at the annual NBCA cocktail and scholarship party Aug. 23. Congratulations, Alyssa and Sarah, and the best of luck in your academic pursuits.
