As many Islanders know, Lyme disease is a common illness caused by tick bites, and can cause serious long-term symptoms if left untreated. Right now there are no approved vaccines for Lyme disease, but a vaccine clinical trial is currently underway through Care Access, which will hopefully lead toward preventing Lyme disease in people ages 5 and older. If you would like more information about the clinical trial or about Lyme disease, please stop by during this informational session. Representatives from Care Access will be here to answer all your questions. 

No registration required.

Calling all performance artists, musicians, and poets! Starting in October, we will be hosting an open mic night on the last Wednesday of every month. This will be a space to practice, encourage, and connect with other artists. Come work on the performance of a new song, practice a monologue for an upcoming play, or tell a story you would like to share; there will even be room for movement to perform a dance piece. Or just come to watch, listen, support, and connect with our creative community. Performances will be capped at 8 minutes.

Registration is required for all performers.
