Update, Nov. 8: Tuesday's community dinner at the East Hampton Firehouse has been canceled, but the remainder of the dates remain in place, according to Fire Department Chief Duane Forrester.

Originally: The first of five free community dinners at the East Hampton Firehouse will be held Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. The others will be Dec. 13, Jan. 10, Feb. 21, and March 14. Entry is in the rear of the building, off the village parking lot at 1 Cedar Street. "Everyone welcome," the fire department notes in its announcement.
