Friendly.  Professional.  Helpful.  Awesome.  Went the extra mile.  Oh, and did I say friendly?  These are just some of the ways that visitors to the Village describe You, the men, women and young people working in the shops, restaurants and other businesses.  Whether you are the owner, a long time employee or part time staff, YOU are the face of the Village – and what a great face we have!

Business owners have been commenting on how busy it has been this summer – “like it was in the ’70’s and ’80’s”.  I understand this also comes with many challenges and some of you are running out of steam.  Please hang in there.  You are part of the fabric that makes this Village so special, a place that people return to year after year.  Thank you for all you do to make this a viable, successful place to live, work and play.  You are Ambassadors for Your Village.  Our Village.
