Riverhead Town Beach Passes 2022

Riverhead Town has decided to open the beaches and issue new beach passes. They will have people at the beach checking as well as the Riverhead police to check on social distancing.
You can get your sticker in any one of the following 3 ways:
  1.  if you choose to print the form and mail it back, you must include a self addressed stamped envelope along with a copy of your registration and proof of residency. Also a copy of your license and your check for $5.00 
  2. . If you want to pay in advance and have them mail it to you; you must download the Viply app to a smart phone, then email them with the documents and the viply confirmation. They will mail the sticker. Total cost $6.50 ( I choose this method and got the pass in 2 days)
  3. Go to one of the three locations at the assigned times as in the past and show them your documents. Cost $5.00
 
BEACH STICKERS (updated 5/19):
Beach stickers will be available at the following days/locations:

  • Parks Office: Saturday, May 23, 9-10 am for seniors, 10 am-2 pm

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers, Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers

This Mothers Day will be different from any you have experienced before. With social distancing, you might feel a little sad not being able to see your families on this special day.

Technology can help!

If you already have video devices like the Echo Show or Facebook Portal, you are already connected but for others there are easy ways to get connected and best of all they are free.

Another extremely easy form of video communication which can be used with multiple members at the same time is FACETIME. However, this feature is only available to IPHONE Users

For everyone else, here are some suggestions:

  1. MESSENGER: If you are on Facebook, you can use Messenger. Messenger allow you to have multiple people on at the same time. You or your family can host your entire family at one time and give you the feeling to be all together. ( If you want more information go to https://www.facebook.com/help/messenger-app/1673374996287506/ for help)
  2. ZOOM: Another free service that can be used for up to 100 people at one time is ZOOM. Only one person has to sign up for Zoom and can invite everyone else to join in. ( If you want more information about Zoom, Go to https://zoom.us/home?zcid=2478 )
  3. SKYPE is another excellent way to communicate. Skype can only be used to communicate with one person at a time but it is an easy set up as most computers have the application built in. ( GO to https://www.skype.com/en/ )

 

 

Any of these above can be used on a computer , Laptop, Tablel or Ipad. You will need to have a camera and microphone installed. Many desktop computers do not but can be added.
