Checks payable to E.H.T.R.C. can be sent to P.O. Box 22, Wainscott 11975.

A fund-raiser for Mr. Vilar’s campaign will be held on Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Captain Jack’s on the Coast in North Sea, the former Coast Grill. Ed Romaine, the Republican candidate for Suffolk County executive, will be a guest. The ticket prices are the same as listed above, and checks payable to the Committee to Elect Manny Vilar can be sent to the same address.
