• The Long Island Green Homes Initiative launched in East Hampton yesterday in an effort to help East Hampton residents, regardless of income, take advantage of incentives for homeowner energy efficiencies and cost savings. The state-sponsored program was launched by the Long Island Green Homes, a not-for-profit, public-private partnership with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. A new, user-friendly website and specially trained Energy Navigators are now available to advise homeowners by phone and assist in identifying the full scope of rebates, discounts and low-cost available financing. For more information, call 1.800.567.2850 or apply online at longislandgreenhomes.org.

• In 2014, The Retreat’s Thanksgiving Gift Card Drive served over 150 victims of domestic violence. This year, the program will serve more than 180 people. The Retreat is asking anyone interested in donating to this cause to call 631.329.4398 to make a donation for this program or drop off a Stop & Shop gift card at their East Hampton office at 13 Goodfriend Drive.

And that’s the way things look at dawn’s light here today.
