County Executive Will Host Huntington-wide Meeting at Glenn on Oct 14th

Some of you have already seen signs, posted in various parts of the Town of Huntington, announcing a Community Forum to be held at John Glenn HS on Wednesday, October 14th.

Naturally, these signs alone cannot convey any sense of the purpose, or planned agenda, for this forum, but a transmission today by the office of County Executive Steve Levy included a descriptive letter from Mr. Levy, and it is pasted below in its entirety for your information.

There was also a press release by the County about this event, but Mr. Levy's letter seems a bit more definitive. Both are useful.

Dear Resident:

It is with great enthusiasm that I write to you to announce that my department heads and I will be bringing the community-oriented “We Work for You Community Forum” to the town of Huntington on October 14, 2009 at John Glenn High School, 478 Elwood Road in East Northport, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

This interactive town hall meeting will focus on the concerns you and other residents in your community face each day. It is open to all residents, school officials, and community and civic leaders, so please feel free to pass this invitation on to whomever else in the town of Huntington you feel may wish to attend. In addition to hearing from me, these forums will provide you with the opportunity to directly discuss topics of your choice with the commissioners and directors of various Suffolk County departments.

Because of the interactive, question-and-answer based nature of this initiative, its success is largely dependent on a large and engaged public turnout. As such, I hope you will join us in this important opportunity and help us spread the word.

I look forward to this community-wide forum and to working more directly with you to further improve the quality of life for all of Suffolk County’s residents. To make certain the needs of all are met, pre-registration for this event is strongly encouraged.

If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact my Community Relations Unit at 631-853-4235. You can register online for this event here: www.co.suffolk.ny.us.

Thank you again for your anticipated cooperation and involvement with this endeavor.

Sincerely,

Steve Levy

County Executive of Suffolk County
