Dear Neighbors:

It's time to order Asharoken merchandise to help support the fireworks. New this year is a beautiful 64" x 32" blue velour beach towel. As always, the following items are also available:

• Sweatshirts: crew neck, hoodie, and zip hoodies
• T-shirts: regular and Matt Davies speed limit
• Jackets
• Vests
• Tote bags
• Flannel pajama pants
• Sweatpants
• Hats: baseball and knit hats
• Wine glasses: stemmed and unstemmed

Some samples are available at Village Hall, and many of the items can also be viewed on Instagram at AVTshirts. Proceeds from the sale of these high-quality products reduce the cost of next year's July 4th fireworks.

Best regards,
Mayor Dr. Greg Letica

Dear Neighbors:

As Veterans Day nears, Linda and I thank all of our Veterans for their service. While serving in the armed forces, you answered a call that asked for courage, discipline, and sacrifice, and you carried that responsibility far from home, often away from the people you love most. Whether you served in times of war or peace, on the front lines or behind the scenes, your commitment helped protect the freedom and security the rest of us too often take for granted.

We honor the birthdays and holidays you missed, the hardships you endured, and the friends you lost along the way. We have not forgotten your service, and neither have we forgotten you. With deep gratitude and respect, we thank you for all you have given, and we are proud to stand beside you today and every day.

I thank Rita Rover for once again growing and displaying an amazing mum in the Village Hall lobby. It's worth stopping by to see.

To keep you updated on the Village activities during October, here is my report from the November 4th Board of Trustees meeting:

• Mayor's Report: November 4, 2026

The bird of the week is a Cedar Waxwing. A large flock was in the trees at the end of Beach Plum Drive this week. This is species number 107 in Asharoken in 2026.

Wishing everyone a nice weekend,
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica
