As the seasons begin to change and we welcome the warmth of spring, our community also comes together to celebrate several meaningful and sacred holidays - Passover, Easter, and Greek Orthodox Easter.

To those observing Passover (April 1^st - 9^th), I extend my warmest wishes for a Chag Sameach. This holiday reminds us of the enduring importance of freedom, faith, and family, and the strength that comes from perseverance and hope.

To our residents celebrating Easter (April 5^th) and Greek Orthodox Easter (April 12^th), I wish you a joyful and blessed holiday. These holy days are a time of renewal, reflection, and the promise of new beginnings, values that resonate deeply within our community.

I hope you will notice the theme of my messages, which mostly relate to strength and community. What makes our village so special is the diversity of traditions, cultures, and beliefs that we share. These celebrations, while distinct, all carry a common message of hope, renewal, togetherness, family, and strength. They remind us of the importance of compassion, unity, and taking care of one another.

On behalf of the entire village, I wish all who are celebrating a peaceful, meaningful, and joyous Passover, Easter, and Greek Orthodox Easter, surrounded by loved ones.

Warmest regards,

Tom Drake
