Marine 38 is getting fresh hull paint from DiMillo’s Old Lyme Marina. They have been kind enough to donate the work, which is hugely appreciated by our all-volunteer department. We definitely put this boat through it as a well-used marine asset in our coastal town, so this fresh paint is necessary work every season. You have to love , thank you DiMillo's!

When was the last time you donated blood? The American Red Cross needs you 🩸

We are facing a national blood crisis, with summer blood donations falling to a four-year low. Your help is needed now to avoid surgery delays, postponed cancer treatments and strained emergency care.

Just three more donors at each blood drive this summer can end this crisis and stabilize the blood supply. Please don’t wait. Book an appointment to give blood now: https://rdcrss.org/4fQAcCu

Umbrellas up folks, we are in for more heavy rain 🌧 The areas in town that are prone to flooding will likely experience the flash flooding being predicted.

The headlines are:
☔️ Stay out of flood waters, depth and current can be extremely deceiving
☔️ Stay away from downed power lines, treat them as live and report them

Stay safe!

📞 911 for emergencies
📞 Text OUT to 23129 for Eversource outages
