Thank you for publishing the Mayor's Message in the Floral Park Dispatch over the past four years. From the beginning of my tenure as mayor of Floral Park, I knew it was very important to reach out and communicate with the residents of the village.

As a result of the Mayor's Message, I have received mail, emails and telephone calls from people who have wanted to know more about village government, clarify information regarding local issues, offer their opinions, make suggestions or just ask a question to satisfy their curiosity about something.

I am most fortunate to have had the column in the Dispatch. I enjoyed writing it and I enjoyed working with you. Your interest in the village and your professionalism in reporting local news and events are greatly appreciated.
