Dear Residents,
The leaves are falling
and the days are growing shorter, so it’s obvious that
autumn is upon us! We
survived Hurricane Irene although she did quite a bit of
damage, especially to the Charles Cowan Village Marina.
We hope to receive the fair funding that the
Federal Government is providing other communities across
the East Coast, and we can begin the task of rebuilding it
in time for the spring of 2012.
Our Department of Public
Works did an excellent job during the storm and for
several weeks afterwards, removing trees, debris and
assisting in the overall cleanup in many locations
throughout the Village.
The damage was intense enough that they will
continue with the cleanup for several more weeks.
The
Lindenhurst Rotary Club in conjunction with the Village of
Lindenhurst held its Annual Octoberfest on the weekend of
October 1st through 3rd.
The event appears to have been a huge success.
The
BID has continued working with the merchants and landlords
to fill the vacant stores.
The “grand” openings of La Villa Gaia
Restaurant at 101 N. Wellwood Avenue as well as our own
Sushi Restaurant, Kabuki at 183 S. Wellwood Avenue have
brought great excitement and additional dining choices to
the Village of Lindenhurst.
These two restaurants illustrate just how seriously
both the Administration and the BID are with continuing
the improvement and development of the Business District.
With
the cooperation of the Business Improvement District (BID)
and the Mayor’s Beautification Society, we have
purchased additional Holiday Decorations!
Without our gazebo, we will make other arrangements
in order to continue our tradition of adorning the Village
Park with Holiday Decorations.
We are certain that the Village Park will be
decorated with its usual Christmas tree, additional
garland and lights, which will add to the celebration of
the season.
During
the next few weeks, there will be many community and local
events. Some
are detailed below:
-
The Chamber of Commerce will be holding its Annual
Business Expo at Chateau La Mer, also on Wednesday,
October 12th at 6:30 pm.

also presented that evening.
For ticket information, call 631-991-3510.
Naturally, we continue to
encourage our residents to shop and utilize the services
in our downtown. Shopping
locally is also a great way to save on gas money.
Our administration
continues to encourage residents to share their ideas,
suggestions and concerns with us.
Our partnership with the various civic, service and
community organizations have strengthened these last three
years because we all have the same goal of keeping
Lindenhurst as a great place to live, work and enjoy.
Along with the Board of
Trustees, our Administrative staff and all the employees
of the Village, we look forward to continue to serve the
Village to the best of our abilities for the betterment of
Lindenhurst.
Have a great autumn and
we’ll see you at the various events that we have planned
for the Holiday Season!
Warmest Regards,
Mayor Tom Brennan
