Take Pride in Our Village
• This past Saturday I took an early morning trip to midtown Manhattan. I was amazed that the curbs and sidewalks in New York City the municipality of 8,000,000 residents plus thousands and thousands of visitors on a daily basis were perfectly clean. What makes this work is that the business owners or building management is responsible for the maintenance and how the exterior looks reflects upon the building, its inhabitants and the City.
The sidewalk or the front of your property and what surrounds it is a business calling card or a welcome mat which represents the business owner or the occupants. Beautification of our community and the success of our business districts is everyone’s responsibility. So we ask you to take the time to pick up the bottle or debris that someone else may have deposited in front of your building or property and dispose of it properly. If they can do it in New York City we certainly can do it here!
• Fallen Tree Clean Up on the Village Walking Path and in some areas of the Greenwood Lake Park clean up continues. Please stop in to Village Hall M-F from 8:00AM until 4:00PM or after hours at the Greenwood Lake Police Station to read and sign the waiver. This waiver is required and must be on your person at the time you are on the municipal property to remove the fallen trees for your personal use.
• Veterans History Project/Veterans Memorial
The Village is requesting that if you are a resident of the community and have served our Country in war or in peace time that you call Village Hall at 477-9215. You or a family member can make the call and all that will be required is your name and telephone number. You will be contacted at a later date by a volunteer student from the George F. Baker Tuxedo High School who will ask you a brief series of questions for our database. This information will allow us to update our Village Veterans Memorial. It will also, with the Veterans permission, be provided to the United States Veterans History Project which is held in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
