Farmingville, NY - On July 21, Supervisor Ed Romaine (right) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (left) met with Colleen Kelly at Town Hall (center), to congratulate her for winning First Prize in the Connecticut Fund for the Environment’s “Save the Sound” photo contest. Colleen’s photo (second photo below), was taken at the Town of Brookhaven’s Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai. Ms. Kelly, a resident of Middle Island, is pictured with her son, Caedyn, who is her “photo assistant” and a frequent subject of his mother’s photographs.
Councilwoman Bonner said, “Cedar Beach is a great location to shoot pictures and Colleen proved that with her stunning, prize winning photograph. It illustrates the need to do whatever we can to preserve and protect the Long Island Sound and our beautiful shoreline for everyone to enjoy.”
Supervisor Romaine said, “I congratulate Colleen for her outstanding photograph and thank her for showing everyone just how beautiful our north shore landscape is. It also reinforces why we must take good care of the environment and encourage children like Caedyn to preserve our precious natural resources.”
The mission of “Save the Sound” is to protect and improve the land, air and water of Connecticut and Long Island Sound. They use legal and scientific expertise and bring people together to achieve results that benefit our environment for current and future generations.
