From The Publisher

Thank YouYou are reading the 72nd issue of

the Port Washington Calendar…that’s right, the Calendar was firstintroduced at HarborFest in June of2008.

It all began because a customer atthe Mediterranean Market remarkedto Hal Linden that they were sorry to have missedthe Chamber SouperBowl event…saying they hadnot known about it.

Thus a simple concept, The Port WashingtonCalendar, was begun… the focus then and now is,simple: Provide Port residents, shoppers, diners andvisitors with a comprehensive list of events, meetingsand happenings – BEFORE they Happen…to pro-vide opportunities for attendance and greater successin all the charitable, religious, not-for-profit and civicevents that make up the fabric of Port Washington.

This issue some 6 years later is our largest with 12full pages, 6000 distribution, through some 150retail & professional locations, more than 300 emaildeliveries and posted on www.PWCalendar.com.

So, to all our readers, advertisers, cooperating mer-chants, and the hundreds of professional and acci-dental PR folks who have worked to provide editori-al input, we say THANK YOU … AND SEE ONJUNE 1 AT HARBORFEST!

Remember toKeep it LocalDave Allen
