At the recent Elmont Family Day, the elmont.org website was recognized as the founding members of the website were given citations for their work on the site.

The Elmont Online Project was started five years ago. Since its launch, the site has serviced more than 100,000 unique visitors from around the world. Elmont Online is Elmont's downtown online. Today, the site provides a variety of important community services to both its online and off-line users. Most notable are its weather service; real-time local, national and international news; an up-to-date community calendar and multi-user planner; a multi-lingual e-mail service, virtually free from ads and spam, provided at no charge to Elmont residents.

Every Elmont resident can have their very own, "RESIDENT"@ELMONT.ORG, e-mail address. TellMont, a list server, delivers to its growing subscriber base timely news and commentary. TellMont has quickly become a welcomed addition to Elmont's information pool and is considered by many, "Elmont's New Voice."

Founding members hold a special place at Elmont On-line. They are the businesses and community residents that supported the vision of expanding Elmont into cyberspace. Today many of these businesses continue to support community efforts with their spirit of volunteerism. Those who deserve recognition for the elmont.org project include:
