Summer, Port Washington Style
August in Port Washington…
Dear Friends…
Well, August is on its way, summer is moving along and we saw mothers checking off school supply lists in a local store today.
August has it all…the tourists, the summer fun, events and projects… and planning for school openings and pool closings.
Advertisers have a lot to say and the right place to say it… In the August issue of the Port Washington Calendar. Closing is July 23.
