Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato reminds residents that the Second Half of the 2024 General Tax Levy is due on July 1st, but can be paid without penalty through August 12th.
“New York State Law allows my office to provide taxpayers with a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,” Receiver Pravato explained. “After the 40 days, State Law requires a one percent penalty be added for each month the tax remains unpaid. So make your payment before August 12th and don’t delay, and you will ensure you aren’t paying more out of pocket than you need to.”
The Tax Office is open
at both Town Hall North, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, and Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa, from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm to assist residents and accept payments with a check, cash or credit card. On August 9th and 12th both offices will be open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. When paying in person, residents are reminded to bring the entire tax bill. There are also outdoor walkup windows, and drop boxes have been installed at both locations for residents to make payments when the Tax Office is closed.
Residents who prefer to mail in their payments should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 117711539. Please make your
check payable to Jeffrey P. Pravato, Receiver of Taxes and indicate your property’s Section, Block and Lot and telephone number on the check.
Tax payments may also be made online through a link on the Town website, www.oysterbaytown. com. Residents may view tax bills, print out a hard copy, or pay taxes with an ACH check payment for a fee of $1.75, or by credit card (for a much higher fee, charged by credit card companies). The Town of Oyster Bay receives no portion of this fee.
Residents may contact the Tax Office with any questions about their tax bill at 516-624-6400 or by emailing receiveroftaxes@ oysterbay-ny.gov.
During the months between graduating high school and beginning college, or between getting a university degree and entering the workforce, graduates may want to explore the personal growth that comes from volunteerism. Volunteering provides various benefits. Some of these rewards include networking with an entirely different group of people. Volunteering also can help a person realize greater
happiness by doing selfless acts for others, while they also can help one to realize a new passion. In the future, volunteering with an organization also may help with a student’s job search.
There are many arenas where young people can focus their volunteer efforts. Here are some ideas.
• Animal shelter: Animal shelters rely on volunteers to help with their operations. They can be a good fit for anyone with a passion for animals and animal rights activism.
• Public service sectors: AmeriCorp and Peace Corps have scores of opportunities for volunteers. AmeriCorp focuses on domestic issues, while the PeaceCorp is a branch of the U.S. government that engages volunteers in international service work. Community involvement, health care, agriculture, homelessness, and combatting hunger are top priorities for these organizations.
• English as a second language: Volunteers can spend time abroad teaching English to students. Others may want to volunteer domestically by helping non-Englishspeaking individuals improve their language skills.
• Community government: A person may choose to sit on the board of a school, a neighborhood housing association, or even explore volunteerism with a township municipal office. This will provide valuable hands-on experience and may help one lend a voice to issues
that affect his or her living situation.
• Religious groups: Churches, synagogues and mosques may have volunteer opportunities focused on community outreach or programs affiliated with local nonprofits.
• Conservation groups: Volunteers can work on conservation projects across the country. From wildlife management to trail restoration to invasive species eradication, there are a wide variety of conservationbased volunteering opportunities.
• Tutoring: Graduates can volunteer to tutor students in local schools or overseas.
Volunteerism can fill gap years or add to résumés for recent graduates.

After undergoing a massive renovation, Northwell at Jones Beach Theater is now open for the 2024 summer concert season. Thanks to a partnership between New York State Parks and Live Nation, the multi-year project seamlessly integrates a robust series of improvements and upgrades. The reopening of the landmark venue is the culmination of three years of planning and nearly two years of construction, resulting in a refreshed and reenergized Jones Beach Theater.
After undergoing a massive renovation, Northwell at Jones Beach Theater is now open for the 2024 summer concert season. The modernization of the venue is the largest investment in the theater’s history, preserving this iconic location for generations to come and solidifying its status as a bucket-list destination for concertgoers.
Thanks to a partnership between New York State Parks and Live Nation, the multi-year project seamlessly integrates a robust series of improvements and upgrades into the theater’s original design.
The reopening of the landmark venue is the culmination of three years of planning and nearly two years of construction, resulting in a refreshed and reenergized Jones Beach Theater.
The venue is ready for the season due to the hard work of 1,850 local construction professionals, 95% of whom are Long Islanders. These dedicated professionals worked over 245,000 hours to complete the renovation.
Enhanced Fan Experience
A grand new entry makes it easier than ever for guests to enter the venue. Once inside, guests are greeted by a spacious plaza that is nearly the size of a football field. This vibrant new plaza features unique food and beverage offerings and ample space to sit down, relax, and take in the bay breeze before the show.
To ensure fans enjoy as much of the show as possible and spend less time in lines, the venue has added 20% more restrooms and 30% more food and beverage outlets. To improve the experience inside the theater, over 7,000 seats have been upgraded and new premium seating experiences have been added. New state-ofthe-art LED screens have been mounted on both sides of the stage to provide all fans with an enhanced view of the performance.
The entire premium experience at Jones Beach Theater has been reimagined. Upon arrival at the CITI VIP Club, guests can choose from multiple locations to relax and take in the 280-degree
views of Zach’s Bay. Guests will enjoy unique food and beverage offerings within the club and will be able to order an incredible spread ahead of the show, so the party starts right upon their arrival.
Upgraded Backstage and Beach for Artists & Crew
The transformation of Northwell at Jones Beach Theater even extends the experience of visiting artists and their crew. As they arrive early in the morning and step off their tour buses, they will be greeted by an exclusive beach they can use throughout their stay. This private beach, serviced by a dedicated Jones Beach lifeguard, includes hammocks, Adirondack chairs, paddle boats, and more.
Over the years, millions of locals and tourists have spent evenings under the stars enjoying music on the water at Northwell at Jones Beach Theater. Originally opened in 1952, the venue was built on the site of Zach’s Bay Stadium, an outdoor entertainment venue that hosted water circuses, boat races, and musicals. Over
the decades, the theater has evolved, marking significant milestones such as the first rock concert by Blue Oyster Cult in 1978 and a permanent shift to concerts initiated by an Eric Clapton show in 1983. Known for its stunning seaside location and world-class performances, Northwell at Jones Beach Theater has hosted numerous legendary artists, including Sting, Smashing Pumpkins, Ariana Grande, Prince, Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, Kendrick Lamar, Van Halen, Lauryn Hill, and Stevie Nicks.
After a great season kick off with the Outlaw Music Festival, this summer’s lineup promises many exciting performances including Pitbull, Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, Alanis Morissette, Jason Aldean, Imagine Dragons, Santana, Counting Crows, New Kids on the Block, Hootie & the Blowfish, and more. The newly renovated venue is also the perfect destination for special events, private events, company picnics and community celebrations.
