I got my own start in politics when I was a student. In 1973 I successfully lobbied the members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators to appropriate $50,000 for the first bikeway in Westchester-on the Bronx River Parkway. The following year I served on former County Executive Al Del Bello's Bicycle Task Force and successfully pushed for the closing of the Bronx River Parkway on Sundays in the spring/summer for bicyclists--a program that is still popular today. Because of the positive experience I had when i was a student lobbying for changes - I decided to make a career out of public service. If lawmakers had ignored the initiative I was advocating for or had said no, I might have chosen another career. It's my hope that the students who attend the Town Board meeting on Wednesday night will also leave with a positive experience about government and their ability to influence decision maker's. Who knows--one of the students making a presentation on Wednesday night could be a future United States Senator, NYS Governor or town official? It's also my hope that Xposure and schools around the town will have students lobby for additional initiatives. The best way students can learn about government is to speak out about issues they are concerned about and to push for changes they believe are important. The xposure presentation on Wednesday should be a beginning.

Subject: RE: Batteries Plus Bulbs
Hello Paul,
Simply want to take the time out and personally thank you and the whole town of Greenburgh for their overwhelming support by shopping at our store. It truly validates that my wife and I have picked the right area to open and help our local community for all their batteries and bulbs needs.
As a courtesy, we'd like to remind everyone to get a FREE battery test to ensure their cars have the proper CCA (cold cranking amps) especially during winter where the temps can drop and unfortunately kills their batteries. For more information about our company kindly visit www.batteriesplusbulbs.com
Thanks again and look forward to seeing you at our ribbon cutting ceremony.
Sincerely,
Eros and Jennifer Corpus 300 Tarrytown Road, White Plains 997 9400 (near Planet Pizza)
