The East Hampton Village Foundation will recognize the village’s first responders at a fund-raiser on Aug. 13 at Swifty’s, the restaurant at the Hedges Inn.

From 7 to 10, the evening will include food, cocktails, music, and a silent auction. Proceeds will benefit the foundation and “directly support the vital work of the Police, Fire, and E.M.S. Council,” according to the invitation.

Tickets cost $500. Those who opt for $1,000 V.I.P. tickets will be invited to a meet-and-greet with the mayor and chiefs of the fire, police, and emergency medical services. Tickets can be bought at ehvf.org/magicalnight.

The nonprofit foundation funds public works and programs in the village.

Self Provisions, a storefront attached to Cavaniola’s Gourmet Cheese in Sag Harbor, is “always open,” as is proclaimed by an illuminated sign on the wall at the entrance. Two large, brightly lit vending machines dominate the space, with offerings ranging from sea salt crackers and slabs of French butter to jars of caviar and curated gift boxes — and, of course, cheese.
