WELCOME MESSAGE

I wish to wish all residents of Hawthorne a safe and happy holiday season. I invite you to partake of the many holiday-centered events taking place within the community.

Please use common sense and allow extra travel time when driving during inclement weather, watching out especially for children who may be playing in the snow.

Sincerely,

Richard S. Goldberg, Mayor
