Talk Back: Too Early For Back-to-School Shopping?

August begins on Wednesday, whispers start of new school year.

Yesterday on an initiative spearheaded by a non-profit organization called Operation Homefront whereby school supplies purchased at the Dollar Store in Ronkonkoma can be donated to military children.

The "Back-to-School Brigade" campaign helps provide much needed supplies and support to students whose parents are active members of the armed forces, and gives students a fresh start to the new school year.
