Envision Valley Stream General Meeting

We're back. Did you miss us? Our last two events were spectacular. In June, we had an amazing general meeting where members of the Nassau County Planning Commission spoke to a packed house. It was a proud moment for us because you all came out in force and showed them that Envision Valley Stream is a real organization, and not to be ignored.

In July, we had our second annual Art in the Park festival. It was bigger and better than the first year--again, thanks to you.

Please come join us on Monday, August 29 at 7:30pm at Sip This (a new business at 64 Rockaway Ave - between W. Fairview Avenue and W. Lincoln Avenue) for our general meeting. The goal of this month's meeting is to focus on our community vision plan, particularly the residential component. Please make every effort to attend. As always, we'd love to see you.

Sincerely,

David Sabatino
