Good Morning!

We’re expecting rain overnight, with a steady temperature around 38.

• For seven weeks beginning this Saturday, artists will take over the Southampton Arts Center, turning its galleries into a web of pop-up studios, where visitors can watch them work or come by for a series of Thursday night hang-outs, playing ping-pong and listening to music as they discuss the methods and madness that make great art. The Beacon’s full story is online here.

• Karen McLaughlin, Director of Southold Town Senior Services, has been honored as Citizen of the Year by the Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association. Family, friends and community members gathered in Veteran’s Park Community Room on Jan. 11 as Karen received proclamations from MLCA President Charles Gueli, Town Supervisor Scott Russell, and New York State Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo. According to MLCA, Karen was recognized for the personal qualities she brings to her Human Services/Senior Center work. Her enthusiasm and efficiency are well-known among her colleagues. But it’s her deep compassion, Karen’s driving force, that makes her an impressive and inspiring community member.
