A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Honoring our volunteers


We were sorry to hear that the Board of Trustees decided not to put up a plaque listing all of the Village’s previous mayors in Village Hall. Although we understand Trustee Bolebruch’s point that the Village government is made up solely of volunteers, we still think it would be a nice gesture to honor them. If it were up to us, we would also include the names of the other trustees as well, since they volunteer significant amounts of time to serve on the Board.

Volunteerism has been at the root of Garden City’s system of government, starting with those who volunteer at the Property Owners Associations, and those who serve on various other boards and committees.

We think that expressing thanks for that service will only encourage others to think about giving up their time for the good of the community.

If we are able to get a listing of the previous mayors of the Village we would be happy to publish it in the next issue of our annual Guide to Garden City, which will come out in October.
