I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 9700 residents of the Village of New Hyde Park for allowing me the opportunity and privilege to serve and represent them for 16 years as village trustee. It's an honor that is bestowed on very few individuals and will remain with me as an indelible memory.

Special thanks to Mayor Tackenberg, the board of trustees, all of the management and their most competent staffs for that dedicated cooperation which makes our village a desirous community to live and work.

Thanks also to the loyal members of the Independent Party Inc., and the Independent Homeowners and Taxpayers Party for their support during my four consecutive elective terms.

Thanks again.

Bill Fischl
