First thing's first-- today is National Pizza Party Day! Each year, this holiday is celebrated on the 3rd Friday in May. Whether you make your own or call in for delivery, don't miss your chance to celebrate tonight-- maybe a pizza crawl?

Second thing's second-- earlier this week, a project that we have been working on for several months was finally completed-- a company called CGI produces a series of short videos for the Town at no cost to us to encourage folks to relocate here. It's an opportunity to show off our best assets, including our facilities, our business, and of course, our people. The videos are embedded in the Town's homepage and debuted today-- make sure to take a look. I suspect you may see some familiar faces...

I was pleased to be part of the chartering of the Greater Ossining Kiwanis Club, one of the first new Kiwanis Club’s to be chartered in this area in 40 years-- this international organization focuses efforts on improving outcomes for children and youth and is a perfect addition to our Volunteer-Spirited Town! 

We were lucky to have many of the Kiwanians from the region join us for this special meeting, some from Spring Valley, a past governor of Kiwanis from Staten Island, Port Chester members and more. 

I hope this new service organization will help us find even more ways to support our youth throughout our community, and certainly with Susanne Donnelly and Cynthia Smart, Michael Grant and Richard Hall at the helm, I have every confidence we will.

We began this week with some sad news, as we'd learned that former Ossining School District Superintendent Dr. Robert Roelle passed away. Dr. Roelle served as Superintendent of the Ossining School District for 15 years, between 1992 and 2007. I had the pleasure of serving in my first elected role on the Ossining School Board under Dr. Roelle's visionary leadership. I learned a lot from him, personally. Also, during his years in Ossining, Dr. Roelle was instrumental in laying the groundwork for so many of the excellent programs in our schools that serve Ossining’s families today, including our world class science research program and the School District’s work to eradicate the achievement gap. He truly left an indelible mark, and through his work has touched thousands of lives. He will certainly be missed by his family, friends and those that worked with him during his tenure in the Ossining community.

We had some much warmer weather this week, which gave us all a chance to get caught up on some outdoor work. A sure sign that summer is almost here, we think?

The boats for the Ossining Sailing Club are now seaworthy! Well. Hudson worthy.

Thinking of taking a boat out on the water this summer? Please remember to boat responsibly and observe all safety regulations. Tomorrow (Saturday, May 11th), Assemblywoman Sandy Galef and a representative from Senator David Carlucci's office will be giving a press conference at the Shattemuc Yacht Club at 12PM, declaring May 18th through May 24th as Safe Boating Week across the state, as well as promoting boating safety classes like the ones taught at Shattemuc. Learn more about how to stay safe this summer here.
