ummm no title?

I couldn't think of a title for this post because I will be discussing a variety of topics. So, I guess the title is "no title". Now that we got that out of the way let's get into the week. Wednesday I will continue my mobile hours by setting up a table at the "Concert on the Green" in West Harrison from 7pm - 8:30pm (weather permitting). On Thursday I will be at the "Concert in the Park" at Ma Riis Park from 7pm -8:30pm as well. Some have asked what services I will be offering so allow me to share. You can obtain a commuter or handicap parking permit, receive Notary services, register to vote, license your dog (yes, that's a law), request copies of your vital records, pick up information on organ donation, and also drop off donations for the My Soldier and Cell Phones for Soldiers programs. Even if you just want to stop by and say hi that is okay too. Hunting licenses go on sale next Monday August 18, 2008. In order to meet the demands of the community, I am keeping my office open until 7pm Wednesday August 20th. You can also receive general services as well.

The Town Board met last Thursday August 7th so the next Town Board meeting is not until September 4th. You can watch a tape of the meeting everyday at 12pm 6pm and 10pm on Harrison Channel 75.

Well, we are just a few short months away from choosing our next President. Are you prepared to decide? Are you prepared to declare yourself? Do you want to help others? Well??? First, REGISTER TO VOTE! It's easy. Drop by my office - I always love guests and pick up a voter registration form. If you are going to be around November 4th and don't have any plans why not become a poll worker and earn some extra cash? The Westchester County Board of Elections is looking for people to work the polls on Election Day (5:30am - 9pm). I know I know, you don't want to go to work at 5:30 in the morning. Look on the bright side you are earning some money and get to work with me ; ) For more info on becoming a poll worker visit www.Westchestergov.com/boe. Hurray because time is running out to take the class. Also, if you have a child who is going off to college please, make sure they are registered to vote and make sure they requested an absentee ballot when they registered. If they registered with me at the High School back in May they will receive an absentee ballot application in the mail soon. If they are not sure have them call my office at (914) 670-3030 and I will be happy to help them.

And because you asked Harrison ...
I have BIG news if you have a commuter parking pass. In preparing to send out renewals for next years parking passes, the question of "can I add a third car to my parking permit?" was raised. Since I became the Clerk only 7 months ago I was not around when the two car limit began. Surely there was a reason why only two cars are allowed, there must be an obvious reason why you can only fit two license plates on one pass. Ummmm no. Actually, there was no reason. In thinking "outside the box" I am adding the choice for you for next year. You will now be able to put three cars on one pass that way you have a bigger selection of cars. This comes in handy when parents and kids swap vehicles a lot.

Finally, I invited all three of the Fire Departments in town to show off their stuff in our display case in Town Hall. Come by and view the photos, trophies and fire paraphernalia to see why we call them our bravest.


That's all for now.
