1 — The Centennial/Memorial Parade is finally here. At 8:45 a.m., an assembly will be held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2307. The parade steps off at 9:45 a.m., followed by an 11 a.m. ceremony at the Doughboy Memorial.

2 — Later today, Lynbrook Patch will be posting a guide to the lowest gas prices in the village. Don't miss a chance to save money on your next trip to the gas station.

3 — You'll likely have to stand in the rain to watch today's parade, as showers and thunderstorms are expected this morning. A high temperature of 84 degrees is forecast.

4 — Mark your calendars for the annual book sale at the Lynbrook Public Library, hosted by the Friends of the Lynbrook Library. The sale begins on Thursday. Visit the library website for more information.
