Dear East Hampton Star,
A little known but wonderful charity, East End 4 Ecuador, is finally closing because it has finished making its financial contributions and because many of its founders have now joined charities that concentrate their work in East Hampton.
No sooner had East Hampton’s 11-under softball players celebrated their regional championship “mercy rule” win over the Bohemia-based Sunrise Hawks here on Sunday than they were called back to resume play, so they promptly wrapped it up, 22-7.
After Tom Cronin and Toby Green, both Shelter Islanders, circumnavigated Long Island, a distance of about 250 miles, last Sept. 11 on Jet Skis, Green suggested that their next run be to Key West, so they turned the trip into a world record attempt and a fund-raiser.
There was a double dip athletic-wise in Montauk last weekend — the 5K, one-mile, and half-mile ocean challenge swims for the Montauk Playhouse Foundation on Saturday and the Lighthouse sprint triathlon the next day.
