On Tuesday, July 16 the Connetquot Public Library hosted its second Summer Garden Tea Party. With a slight breeze, under the afternoon sun, high tea was served on the library lawn. The table decorations were in seasonal hues and there was a colorful array of teapots. Keeping with the practice, some of the attendees wore fancy hats, but all came to partake in a celebration of English tradition. Iced tea and lemonade, Irish
tea, sandwiches, and sweets were shared, and acquaintances had the opportunity to become friends. All were invited to bring a seasonal summer recipe or one from their childhood. With humor and nostalgia, recipes and recollections were shared with the group. Recipes are to be compiled into a booklet for all who attended. The most rewarding aspects of the gathering were the spontaneous
conversations and acquisition of new connections and memories. With meticulous attention to detail and style, librarians Janet Eagan and Susan Altman hosted this enjoyable and enchanting afternoon. According to Cicero “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” Having others to share it with makes the experience all the more rewarding!

STUDENTS BECOME ONE WITH NATURE - First grade students enrolled in Keri Farrell’s class at Idle Hour Elementary School recently put on a stunning performance of the play, “Bugz,” for attending family members and kindergarten students alike. Under direction of music teacher Kelly Daugherty and Mrs. Farrell, the students spent months rehearsing their lines and perfecting their choreography before putting on the big performance for all to see. The play featured a beautiful set design, eye-popping costumes and a number of songs which showcased both the students’ vocal abilities and humorous nature. Prior to the big premiere, the students visited The Arbors Assisted Living Facility at Bohemia to treat their “Grandfriends” to a special performance of the show.
