(The following letter was sent to both Senator Michael Balboni and Assemblywoman Maureen O'Connell.)

The village board and I would like to thank you for your very strong support of our collaboration agreement with the New Hyde Park/Garden City Park School District and the New Hyde Park School District Library.

It is our belief that state officials will look upon our application favorably, considering the positive comments in your supporting letter. Rest assured that I will inform our residents of your assistance to us in this very important project.

On behalf of a very grateful community, thank you for caring about New Hyde Park.

Warren J. Tackenberg

Mayor, Village of New Hyde Park
