#3:  Are you ready to conquer the hills of Farmingville?  Come walk or run with us at the Conquer the Hills 5K on Saturday, March 19 at 8AM to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This is a first-time event for our community – let’s make it a great success!  We are looking for runners, walkers, volunteers, and sponsors.

#4:  The Town of Brookhaven has adopted an Anti-Graffiti Campaign and our own Farmingville residents have taken the lead on this charge.  We are launching an art mural campaign and are looking to create a mural within the downtown area.  We want to engage the skills of our local young artists.  So let us know if you want to be involved!  More information to follow shortly!
