We are grateful for the overwhelming support we received from the residents of Manorhaven. Thank you for believing in our mission for open government policy and a need to change the focus from confrontation to cooperation. We would also like to thank those who worked so diligently with us day and night during our campaign. More important than supporters simply helping us to win an election, we have become a group of good friends and neighbors. We look forward to continuing our work sessions, listening to your concerns and solving problems that interfere with the quality of life we have come to cherish in our community. It is now time for all parties to set aside political petty arguments and work together to preside over a village we will all be proud of. —Jim Avena and Priscilla von Roeschlaub
