Dear Readers,

For the past 30 or so years I was active in a volunteer group called the "Village Beautification Committee" here in Nassau Village. One of my earliest efforts was first contributing to and then designing a newsletter called The Village Green. As time marched on, paper copies gave way to an on-line only edition. 

         Back in 2013 when the website was created and ever since it has been a labor of love (and sometimes a cloud hanging over my head as the monthly self-imposed deadline would creep closer.) With my retirement from the Beautification Committee last fall, I decided to keep the website and focus on one of my other volunteer "occupations," researching, recording and sharing Nassau Local History.     

         I hope to keep the stories coming and you will enjoy our little walk down memory lane. Thank you.
