Congratulations to Adelphi University’s Class of 2009
Thursday, May 21, is the graduation of Adelphi University’s Class of 2009. My colleagues on the village board of trustees and I join all of the residents of our village in extending congratulations to these outstanding young people. They have been a credit to our community and I am sure they will continue to reflect well on Garden City as Adelphi University’s alumni. We wish the Class of 2009 the very best and congratulate you on your many accomplishments and contributions.
Save the Date – Memorial Day Observance May 25
On Monday, May 25, under the direction of the William Bradford Turner Post – American Legion, the annual Memorial Day observance in our village will commence with the memorial church services at 9 a.m. at the Cathedral of the Incarnation.
