Happy Friday Everyone! 

This Thursday officials from the Town and Village attended the Westchester Municipal Officials Association meeting. The speaker was from the Westchester County Emergency Management Services talking about the poor response time and increasing need for mutual aid as EMS systems become more strained for resources. A big shout out to OVAC and Chief Nick Franzozo for being recognized not only for their exemplary service but for setting an example of how an ambulance district could provide coverage as well as expanded services to their community. They were also thanked for covering many of the mutual aid calls throughout the County. There is now a new county system in place to help insure full coverage in all of Westchester. 

This past Sunday, the Girl Scouts visited Town Hall. It was lots of fun to host our future leaders and teach them about democracy.
