Beautiful East Hoekaway
The East Rockaway Board of Trade has been working on a
project to beautify the village and now the program is about to
become a reality. President Bill O'Brien and Secretary Win Berg
have had many meetings with the Village Officials and the vil-lage
has agreed to help. Over 100 planters will be distributed
up and down the main streets in 'the village.
The Board of Trade has announc- ' ^
ed that die village will absorb die
complete expense of painting or
marking parking lines. on the main
streets, which should improve and
increase the present parking facilit-ies
by at least 25%.
The \illage will also absorb one-hallf
the cost of the planters, with
the balance bei^g raised by The
Board of Trade and from resident
donations as per previous Holiday
Lighting fund raising. The planters
will be placed between the painted
parking lines to pemiit entrance and
exit from automobiles without car
damage.
There will be no "Holiday Light-ing
Program" this year, the planters
will be decorated in a Holiday
theme to replace such lighting. This
Christmas, however, due to delivery
difficulties on the planters, only 40
may be installed. Holiday lighting
was costly and entailed many prob-lems
and risks. It was only appre-ciated
for approximately one month
of the year, whereas the planters
can be enjoyed for the whole year
and many years to come.
Tdie planters will be used as foK
lows: (1) Christmas Theme — Red
Ribbons, etc.. (2) Easter or Spring —
Potted Colorfid Flowers, (3) Mem-orial
Day — American Flag Base, (4)
Fourth of July — American Flag
Base, (5) Firemen's Parade — Fire-men's
Flag Base, (6) Summer — Co-lorful
Flower Plantings, and (7) Fall
— Colorful Mum Plantings.
