LOCAL LAW - SOLICITATIONS The Village's solicitation law prohibits all unwanted commercial solicitations and distributions on all private residential property in the Village and prohibits non-commercial solicitations and distributions on private property to the extent desired by the resident. This law was designed to protect residents from unwanted invasions of their privacy. Any resident requesting not to be solicited should complete a "Notice of Objection" form at the Village Hall. Presently, the Board has authorized certain groups to solicit door-to-door in the Village. As of this writing the only group that has a permit to solicit, at this time, is the New York Youth Group. Their permit is for December 15 and 16, 2007 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. BOARD MEETING The next regularly scheduled Village Board of Trustees meeting is on Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. VILLAGE'S WEB SITE I encourage residents to periodically utilize the Village's website for information regarding the Village's operations, as well as items of seasonal and special interest. The address is www.gardencityny.net . Also please be aware that I have a Village e-mail address and would be delighted to hear from Village residents about their concerns - it is as follows: MayorPBee@gardencityny.net SHOP IN GARDEN CITY FIRST Residents in the Village of Garden City are very fortunate in having a vital business community comprised of merchants who are committed to serve us from their shops along Franklin Avenue, Seventh Street and New Hyde Park Road. I urge each of you to continue to patronize these local businesses during the holiday and throughout the year. Our business community wants to know how they are doing, so take a minute the next time you are shopping and let them know what you think about the quality of their products, attention to customer service and the new "Merchant Card" program of our local Chamber of Commerce. QUALITY, SELECTION AND OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOP GARDEN CITY FIRST! S.T.O.P. PROGRAM The Town of Hempstead Sanitation Department will conduct the last of its monthly S.T.O.P.
