We are approaching Memorial Day and there will be many opportunities to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedoms.  The day starts with a mass at 8 am at St. Stanislaus Church in Pine Island followed by a  parade at 8:45 am.  A parade kicks off in the Village of Warwick at 11 am from Village Hall, with stops at Warwick Cemetery and St. Stephens Cemetery.  The day ends with a parade in the Village of Florida at 2 pm and a ceremony at the American Legion Post in the Village of Greenwood Lake also at 2 pm. Please take a moment during this holiday weekend to observe the great cost some have borne so we can enjoy our precious freedoms.

Congratulations to the students who make up the Odyssey of the Mind team under the coaching of Taylyn Carter.  These students are this year’s NYS champions.  This team of exceptionally bright youngsters are on to the national finals in Iowa.  Good luck, you have already made us proud!

Neil Curran, an Eagle Scout candidate, has a great project slated for the Pine Island Park.  Neil will construct a sand volleyball court which will add a great new recreational aspect to our park system.  We are very grateful for his effort. 

The next regular meeting of the Town Board will be held on Thursday, May 31, at 7:30 pm in the Warwick Town Hall, 132 Kings Highway.
