Volunteering is a great way for individuals to strengthen their communities, but it also can be a unique way for individuals to improve their own overall happiness. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies examined 70,000 participants, each of whom received surveys that asked questions regarding their volunteering habits and mental health.The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings. The frequency of giving back to one’s community also may affect just how much volunteering affects mental health. Study participants who volunteered at least once per month rated their mental health even higher than those who volunteered but did so infrequently.

Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Lou
Imbroto invite residents to participate in the Town of Oyster Bay’s 16th Annual Autism Awareness Event, being held this year at Bethpage Community Park on Saturday, September 28th. The event benefits Advantage Care Health Center’s Fay J. Lindner
Center for Autism & Developmental Disabilities, one of the leading treatment and outpatient assessment programs for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

as unique strengths and differences,” Supervisor Saladino stated. “It is estimated that the condition affects 1 in every 36 children in the United States, and early diagnosis leads to an increased ability to help through intervention services.”
This year’s Autism Awareness event features a walk, skating, fun activities,
crafts, facepainting, DJ/ dancing, refreshments and anti-bullying information. Registration for the event begins at 10 a.m., with the walk commencing at 11 a.m. The registration fee is $10 for individuals and $25 for families. All registrants will receive entrance to the post-walk tailgate party with refreshments and free T-shirts while supplies last.
Councilman Imbroto added, “We are pleased to once again host this event to benefit the Fay J. Linder Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities, which offers the highest quality, state-of-the-art clinical services to people with Autism Spectrum disorders. From hosting social skill development groups to assisting with
medicine management and educating community organizations, Advantage Care Health Center does truly outstanding work in our Town.”

The East Coast’s largest waterfront festival will return this fall to the streets of Oyster Bay. Supervisor Joseph Saladino, his colleagues on the Town Board and organizers and sponsors of the 41st Oyster Festival announced the return of the iconic seaside festival this October 19th and 20th. Supervisor Saladino, together with Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca and Receiver Jeff Pravato; Oyster Festival partner the Oyster BayEast Norwich Chamber of Commerce President Ryan Schlotter and Las Vegas Sands Senior Vice President Tracey Edwards made the announcement along the waterfront at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park.
“The Oyster Fest showcases our beautiful Town and historic sites
in Oyster Bay while helping to raise charitable funds for local non-profit organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club. So when you’re eating an oyster from our waterways, drinking a beverage from the local brewing company, or shopping in our downtown, you can feel especially good knowing that a portion of your dollars supports local charities,” said Supervisor Saladino. “We’re also putting the local oyster back in Oyster Fest, and we are thrilled that over a dozen Long Island oyster farmers are participating in this year’s festival.”
In addition to delicious food vendors, various merchandise exhibits, amusement rides and a waterfront family fun zone, this year’s Oyster Festival will once again take part in the Town’s shell recycling program,
through which the Town collects shells from local partners to strengthen the marine ecosystem. Anyone interested in volunteering to take part in the shellfish recycling efforts during Oyster Fest can contact
the Town’s Department of Environmental Resources at (516) 677-5752 or email Environmental@oysterbayny.gov.
The Oyster Festival is the East Coast’s largest waterfront festival and
attracts up to 200,000 people from all over the tristate area to Oyster Bay hamlet for this iconic event. This year’s event is presented by Catholic Health and powered by optimum and Sands. For more
information on this year’s Oyster Fest, taking place on the streets of Oyster Bay and throughout Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park on Saturday and Sunday, October 19th and 20th, visit www.theoysterfest.org.
Oyster Bay Town Councilman Tom Hand invites residents to submit photos taken in the Town of Oyster Bay to be considered for future use in Town publications.
“We accept photos
year-round submitted by our residents which depict people, places, community events and scenery throughout our Town,” said Councilman Hand. “We accept photos for the calendar, as well as
other Town publications, including our website, social media pages and brochures.”
Councilman Hand noted that photos should be taken within the confines of the Town of Oyster Bay. Digital
submissions are preferred, but high-quality photos may also be submitted. Emailed photos should be sent to photos@oysterbayny.gov. Printed photos can be submitted to the Town’s Public Information
