President’s Letter – March 2020
Greetings,
Welcome to almost spring! March reminds us to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and start those spring cleanups. Put them both together and you get Irish Spring. Hey, the Our Place Newspaper is known for the best corny jokes you can find, sometimes it’s good to lighten up and laugh.
President’s Letter – February 2020
Winter Greetings,
Given how uneventful weather wise January was, many of us are hoping our old neighbor Holtsville Hal will wake to a cloudy day on February 2nd proclaiming spring is just around the corner.
President’s Letter – January 2020

President’s Letter – December 2019
Season’s Greetings,
Well here we’re once again, the most busiest time of the year! Just like that the holidays are upon us and most everyone is hustling and bustling with gift shopping, making plans with family and friends and at the same time trying to stop and smell the Hollie.
President’s Letter – November 2019
Greetings of the Thankful Season,
Once again it’s so hard to believe the holiday season is already upon us. It feels like we were just down at the Holbrook Fair a few weeks ago when in fact it was over two and a half months ago.
As November ushers in all of the hustle and bustle of planning, shopping and entertaining there are a few things we must all stop and give thanks for.
President’s Letter – October 2019
Greetings of the Fall Season,
Fall is truly one of the absolute most beautiful times of year in the State of NY. As the warm days turn into cool nights and the leaves turn a brilliant hue of orange and yellow before cascading down from the trees, it is truly a sight to behold.
October is the month where the fourth quarter for most businesses commences. It is a critical three month time period for many companies as it often determines whether they make money for the year or not. For retailers, the holiday sales season is a key contributor to their annual bottom-line. As retail goes so do a lot of other related industries. For example, when people are out shopping they usually need a place to eat. For many other businesses its also crunch time to get projects done or on-board new clients before the holiday break and close of year.
