Dear Neighbor,

We are excited to bring you another great season of recreational programs! After

the truly historic winter that we just had, I am sure that all of us are looking forward to the

summer season. For decades the Village has been known for providing countless families

with fun, innovative and safe recreational programs. Our staff has been working tirelessly

these past few months to continue in that tradition of excellence. From the weekly car

shows, concerts, pool dances and pool movie nights, there is something for everyone!

On behalf of the Village Board & Village Justice, we look forward to seeing you

around our Village this summer! Summer of 2026 promises to be filled with good times and

great memories in Valley Stream!

Sincerely,

Deputy Mayor

Dermond E. Thomas
