At 11:00am on Saturday August 16th in the New Fire House the Fair Harbor Fire Commissioners will present an update on the plans and the status of the Proposed Firehouse Renovation. Based on the community feedback from this meeting the Fire Commissioners will proceed with the scheduling of a referendum to allow the Fire District to raise money for the proposed renovation. 

This will be a multi-million dollar project which will effect the taxes of all Fire Island property owners. Everyone is urged to attend this important Fire House Renovation Meeting.

Just imagine those moments when your child – grandchild – niece – nephew – friend’s child, smiles… Doesn’t your world seem so much brighter?

Komedyplast is a non-profit organization performing “life-transforming” surgery on children with congenital deformations of the head, face and neck including cleft palate and other serious deformations of the skull. Surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and equipment are required to provide highly specialized services to impoverished children in the slums of developing nations.

Komedyplast is unique in that it combines surgical treatment – performed by volunteer professionals – with entertainment. The organization clearly understands the value of humor and hope as they contribute to the healing process.

Our very own Dunewood second-generation resident, Dr. Peter Taub, is the Director of Pediatric Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Mount Sinai. Peter volunteers at least two weeks each year to perform this surgery, free of charge, in Peru. His efforts, alongside his wonderful team, make “a lasting difference in the lives of children” who might otherwise spend a life as an outcast, a pariah in their communities.

When people think about Dunewood, they often picture a lovely community with a tennis court… Wouldn’t it be our symbol of pride, if, in everyone’s mind’s eye, they pictured not only a wonderful seaside community around a tennis court but also beside it a group of children smiling? Children whose smile also lights up their parent’s and grandparent’s and aunt’s and uncle’s worlds?

Please join us on the beach at Sandpiper in Dunewood, Saturday, August 23rd at 8:10a.m.  We will walk with our Fair Harbor and Saltaire neighbors in the spirit of a summer community that cares and cares deeply!  

Please donate what you can and ask your friends and neighbors to contribute generously to this very worthy cause. 

Checks should be made out to Komedyplast.
