Village President Holiday Letter - Winter 2024

Season Greetings!

     As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, I’m reminded of how the holidays truly are the most wonderful time of the year. I hope you will find time to gather with family and friends and enjoy the season’s festivities. The holidays are also a time to reach out to those less fortunate and help enrich their lives. There are many opportunities to help through local organizations or simply by lending your neighbor a hand. We are fortunate to live in a community filled with so many generous and selfless individuals. For that I am truly grateful.

     While making plans during this busy time of the year, make sure to mark your calendar for this year’s 6th Annual Holiday Magic Parade and Event, which will be held on Saturday, December 14th beginning at 5:30 p.m. This year’s parade will again follow the route beginning at Johnsburg High School and ending at the Johnsburg Community Club (Click Here for the Parade Route).

     As winter is approaches, take time to prepare by making sure your vehicle is in good working order and equipped with blankets and warm apparel. Our Public Works and Parks Department employees have been busy readying trucks and equipment for the inevitable snow.

     The Christmas tree is up in the lobby at the David G. Dominguez Municipal Center and we invite you to donate a special ornament or use your imagination and create an ornament for the tree. Ornaments can be dropped off at the Municipal Center, 1515 Channel Beach Avenue, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ornaments will be placed on the tree for all to enjoy and kept to be displayed each year.

     With the New Year quickly approaching I find myself reflecting back on the past year and appreciating all of the great things we’ve accomplished and the many people that helped make them happen. There are many exciting new developments happening in the coming year and I look forward to sharing them with you. Watch for my annual letter which will be mailed to you in the New Year.

    Thank you for providing me the opportunity to serve as your Village President. I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and safe and prosperous Happy New Year. I hope to see you and your family at the Holiday Magic Event!

Sincerely,

Edwin P. Hettermann
Village President
