Town of Hempstead

Bluegrass Pool looked a little more like Madison Square Garden last night as residents joined Supervisor John Ferretti, Councilman Dennis Dunne, Sr., and Town Clerk Kate Murray to cheer on the Knicks during Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Bluegrass and Malibu for our Knicks watch parties and helped turn two great community gatherings into championship celebrations decades in the making. Congratulations to the Knicks on bringing the title home and inspiring a new generation of fans to believe anything is possible.

Flag Day is a chance to appreciate something we see every day but can never take for granted. Our flag has flown through moments of triumph, challenge, sacrifice, and renewal, and it remains a symbol of the freedoms and opportunities that unite us as Americans. Today, I’m proud to honor the Stars and Stripes and all those who have defended what it represents.

Why go to Europe when you can get a taste of Italy right here in the Town of Hempstead?

I was happy to join “miei amici” Sylvester and Pietro, the owners of Romeo’s Pizza in Franklin Square for a recent business spotlight! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
