TedX Comes to Town, Help a Sick Child Thursday in Port Jefferson

Good morning Port Jefferson. Here's what's happening today in town.

-Grab the umbrellas. The National Weather Service, said rain is likely to begin sometime after 9 a.m. A Nor'Easter will be in the area today and tides are expected to be up to one and a half feet higher than normal.
-Stony Brook University hosts its TedX event Thursday, with some of the school's top thinkers giving short presentations on their ideas and observations. We'll be there, but we'll also host a live stream on the site for those who couldn't make it.

-Friends and neighbors are building a portable medical treatment unit for Brian Ilg, age 8, who was born with Epidermolysis Bullosa, a terrible blistering skin disorder--a little house on wheels, with dedicated space for his medical care, which will reduce the spread of infection. You can help, here's how.

-The weekend is almost here and it's going to be big in Port Jeff with homecoming happening on Sat. and the American Music Festival happening all week in the Village. Not enough for you? Check out our weekend planner for more ideas.
