This year’s celebration included marching bands, pipe bands and bag pipes. Community organizations, cultural associations and political leaders took part, as well. This parade does a great job of promoting civic pride in our metropolitan community. I am proud of our high school students for adding to this sentiment. They did an outstanding job representing Harrison and they should be commended.
The Harrison Public Library has done exceptionally well in expanding the use of the new and improved space. Our Library Director, Galina Chernykh, and her staff, continue to develop ideas for new programming. The library offers homebound services for residents who are unable to visit the library due to disability. Patrons may call the library to have books, audio-books, or compact discs delivered to their home. Please contact the librarian at 914-835-0324 if you would like to join this program or have any questions about this service.
I would like to extend my congratulations to all involved in the Louis M. Klein Middle School performance of "Grease." It was with great pleasure that I had the opportunity to catch the show. It was an exciting event and I am so glad I was able to attend. The music and the choreography were exceptional. The spirited cast complemented the lively music and the talent was enjoyed by all. The hard work and devotion of the students, director and technical crew was apparent and I would like to recognize them for their dedication. I think I can speak on behalf of the audience when I say that we all thoroughly enjoyed the show.
