I was unable to attend March 28th’s meeting. The next meeting will be this week on March 13th.

Village of Red Hook Communications Committee:

The Communications committee meets every 1st Wed. of the month at 1:30 pm in the Village Hall conference room. March 6th’s meeting was spent reviewing signage at the main door of the Village Hall with Police Lieutenant Hildenbrand and Sergeant Sterritt. A temporary sign explaining how to reach the police, even outside of Village Hall office hours, has been ordered to be mounted alongside the existing buzzer. Also both English & Spanish versions of our new brochure, explaining Village services arrived from the printers this week.
