2008 LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL/SOFTBALL SEASON AND PARADE
I was happy to be a part of last Saturday's opening of the 2008 Little League Baseball/Softball season and Annual Little League Parade.

I would like to again take this time to congratulate the Garden City Athletic Association on their 53rd year and thank their officers, directors, managers, coaches and all that are involved in such a wonderful organization. Not only do they touch the lives of so many youngsters, they have been a valuable asset to our community.

GREAT BATTERY ROUNDUP

On Tuesday, April 22, 2008 the Automobile Club of America will hold their "Great Battery Roundup" at 1415 Kellum Place. The event will run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the parking lane in front of the AAA building and will consist of a battery drop off area and a battery test area.

Please bring your batteries on Saturday so that they may be disposed of properly.

WATER CONSERVATION - LOCAL LAW 3-1987

We all want to keep the environment clean and green. However, I would like to remind the Village residents that although we want to have beautiful lawns and flowers, we must keep in mind the Village's law with regard to water conservation (Local Law 3-1987) is now in effect.

The restrictions are:

The days a person may water are:

Automatic sprinkler systems:

Miscellaneous

all home car washing must be done with hoses fitted with spray nozzles with automatic shut-off.

use of water for washing down driveways or walkways is prohibited.

Please cooperate by observing these restrictions. The Police Department has been requested to issue appearance tickets to those persons found to be in violation of this law.
