Meet the Sayville Patch Moms Council

Sayville Patch recently formed a to tackle some tough reader questions. We encourage you to email questions (Denise@patch.com) and we will consult with our Moms Council to answer the questions, to the best of their ability, and also open the conversation up to our readers.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Each Wednesday, our council will answer your questions and we encourage you to share in the conversation by posting your thoughts each week in the comments section. Check back today at 2 p.m. for the first column.
