Happy Friday everyone!

As we get the Supervisor’s Office up and running we are reminded of one of Dr. Martin Luther King JR’s quotes: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed this year on January 16. This day commemorates the life and work of Dr. King, a Baptist Minister and prominent leader in the American Civil Rights movement. We encourage everyone to join us in reflecting on the principles of racial equality and non-violent social change as we celebrate this inspirational leader’s life’s work.  

The Briarcliff-Ossining Ministerial Association is holding an interfaith celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King JR’s legacy on Sunday January 15, 2023, 5 PM, at the Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church.

Another famous quote from Dr. King is “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?” One example of this in our community is Green Ossining’s Repair Café. Green Ossining’s Repair Café will once again be taking place at the Ossining Community Center on January 21, 2023 from 11 AM to 3 PM. Come get your beloved but broken items fixed for free by volunteer repair coaches who are also your neighbors.

We want to thank Town and Village staff, and Ossining residents for their patience and guidance during this transition period.
