Dear residents,
As 2012 has now arrived, I want to take a moment to thank the Village staff, various board/committee members and the Village Trustees for the great effort you've all put forth this past year. The planning and cooperation you have provided has continued to move this Village forward. We are poised to continue and also begin great programs and projects which would not happen if it weren't for our incredible staff and various board members. This is a great village and a fantastic place to live because of all your efforts.
To our residents, business community, and to the various community organizations that help this Village and general community be what it is; I thank you! You help guide us, help push us forward and help to keep us moving in the right direction. I look forward to 2012 with great anticipation knowing that the community will continue to work together to move forward in a positive fashion and to continue to be a community that people want to be part of, to raise a family in and to do business in. My best to you all!
Lastly, I have been contacted by local residents that have suggested the Village (and Town) consider the placement of banners depicting the image of local military personnel that are actively serving our nation either home or abroad. Supervisor John Moffitt had contacted me with this idea as well and it's our hope that a joint program endorsed by the Town and Village together will be started. There are many ideas as to how this will work, but for now I ask for response to the following two (2) points which will help us in planning this effort:
- If you are a family member of a Honeoye Falls or Mendon resident that is actively serving in the armed forces of the United States and would like to see your service members photo depicted on a banner (to be displayed on special occasions), please contact me via email at (mayorvhf@frontiernet.net) or by calling the village office (624-1711 Ext#206) and leaving me a message. I will gather these responses and share them with Town Supervisor - John Moffitt for further discussion.
- If you are a Honeoye Falls-Mendon resident and would like to serve on an informal committee to help get this program moving, please let me know that as well.
I will keep you all updated on other projects and programs being considered in the village. Happy New Year and stay informed!
Rick Milne
Mayor, Village of Honeoye Falls
