3. The Wreckin' Ball: Nassau Community College's (NCC) Theatre and Dance Department and the Africana Studies Department present "The Wreckin' Ball," a two-act, eight-character play that explores the changes one family in particular, and a community in general, endure when their inner city neighborhood is slated for urban renewal. Show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $9 per person, $7 for seniors 55 and over, $5 for those 18 and under and free for current college students requesting rush tickets.

4. Village Website Enhancements: According to Mayor Robert Rothschild, based on recent suggestions, a village “message alert” section was added to Garden City's website. On the home page there is now a section stating: “Click here for Village News Alert Messages.” These updates will be made as necessary and will contain a wide range of announcements such as special meetings, changes to the Sanitation Collections, water main breaks, hydrant flushings, weather-related events and power outages, according to Rothschild.
