Adopt-a-Family 2017 a great success. THANK YOU!

Our 2nd annual Adopt-a-Family Holiday Fundraiser was a great success.    It truly is amazing to see such depths of generosity and love from our community.  

We would like to thank all of you, but especially the many anonymous donors, for giving so much to our family in need.  

The family asked us to tell all of you that they are very thankful for everyone's support.   

To be able to make the holidays special, even for just one family, is truly the spirit of the holiday season.

Summer 2016 Newsletter

IF YOU WERE NOT IN NEW SUFFOLK ON JULY 4th YOU MISSED A VERY SPECIAL EVENT! As promised, this year's parade was bigger and better than ever. From the first steps led by the Cutchogue Fire Department to the last, scores of children, floats, flags, vintage cars, military veterans and local community organizations came together to celebrate America's birthday. Patriotic songs, history, and even the firing of a cannon rounded out the waterside

program. Our thanks, once again go to the Wickham family for the use of their wagon/stage and of course to the Moore foundation for the generous and delicious picnic lunch served by Case’s Place. 

Many thanks to everyone who attended our annual meeting on June 18th. For those who were not present, we are happy to announce that the NSCA has opened its board to three new Directors. Three board members are parents with children in our school. This is a big asset for our community; it will help shape the future of our hamlet with the perspective of parents. 

Joan Doherty gave the treasury and the yard sale reports and thanked Jim Baker, for his help and expertise. Jeanette Cooper gave the New Suffolk School Enrichment Fund report and thanked the community for their generous support. The NSCA was also recognized for its continued effort and generosity. A new playground was installed and the ballfield has been refurbished. Jeanette also mentioned that the Enrichment Fund is also committed to raising money in support of science and nature programs, museum trips etc.

This year, the Spirit of New Suffolk Award was given to the late Lily Andrews, a beloved resident. Carol Dinda spoke about Lily’s wonderful life, courage and compassion. We shall miss her and will always remember her as Lady Liberty on our 4th of July Parade.

Tony Dill, New Suffolk School Board President thanked the community for its support and praised the wonderful school faculty and staff while looking forward for another great school year.

Many residents expressed that a primary concern in our hamlet is speeding along with parking issues on First Street, the beach and when events are scheduled in town. Paul and Joe have been meeting regularly with Southold Police Chief Flatley and Supervisor Scott Russell. Thank you to Jim Baker for your information on traffic procedures with the Town, andyouroffertohelpNSCAinexpeditinganyconcernsresidentsmayhave.

The Tolling of the Boats

On Sunday April 10, the Submarine Veterans of Long Island came to New Suffolk for their annual "Tolling of the Boats."  The organization commemorates all of the US Navy Submarines lost at sea during the ceremony as well as recently departed shipmates.  We look forward to their return this July 4th for the annual parade.  

For photos go to the photos pages.

New Playground

Check out the new playground at the school. There is an album on the photos page.  The joint effort of labor by the New Suffolk Civic Association and New Suffolk School Enrichment Fund brought the community together with a call for volunteers. The volunteers saved the Enrichment Fund thousands of dollars by doing demolition and construction themselves.  

Larry Liso Serenades New Suffolk

Go to the photos page to hear Larry Liso sing "Summer Wind."  The NSCA and New Suffolk School Enrichment Fund had a great turnout Saturday night Sept 6, 2015, with 100 people coming by.  We look forward to having Larry back next year!

Please excuse the video quality as it was taken with a cell phone, the sound however, is great!

Standards/Sinatra Night has been rescheduled

The performance for August 22nd has been canceled and rescheduled for Saturday September 5th at 6:30 at the baseball field.

Opera Night

Thank you for making our first musical event a great success and for being such a wonderful audience. It seems that everyone had a lovely time. The NSCA and the New Suffolk School Enrichment Fund would like to thank every one of you for your generosity and we look forward to seeing you on the ball field for our next musical event September 5.
