The Village is continuing to prepare for the summer season with three important programs running simultaneously: first we are addressing the periodic influence of invasive plant species which can clog waterways and swimming areas; second, we have begun the pre-season sale of beach passes for both families and hotel/motel properties for their guests; finally, we have nearly completed the hiring of a sufficient amount of lifeguards for the season to enable a full season of beachfront availability.
We are still in the midst of budget season, and the next working meeting date is March 27. Please remember to vote in the upcoming election on Tuesday March 19, 2024, since there are a number of local elections happening throughout the state of New York, including Greenwood Lake. And the next Board Meeting is the following day, Wednesday, March 20, which will be available via a live Facebook feed and on the Village YouTube Channel page, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_gG8r53Z9hvEjXIPX2wPUQ., for those residents who are unable to attend in person.
Meanwhile, the Centennial Committee has an important event this Saturday, commemorating the original vote for incorporating the Village in the State of New York, in 1924. The event, “I was There,” is a reenactment of the election day in GWL in 1924 done in an immersive setting. The story takes place on the grounds of and inside of the beautiful historic Church of the Good Shepherd. The audience can get right in the middle of the arguments and shenanigans that took place in the spring of 1924. Everyone who attends will move freely throughout the space to experience the story in whatever order they choose. It’s a chance to be a part of the story, rather than just watching from a distance. Take a break from the performance and drink in the 1920s era tavern alongside the fellow villagers (drink tickets available at the bar).
No need for everyone to arrive at 1 pm. The play will be recycling throughout the afternoon. Arrival time suggestion: 1 pm, 1:30 pm, 2 pm and 2:30 pm. Registernow! https://gwlcentennial.org/immersive-theatre/ for this FREE event.
