Ceremony at Town Hall on September 27 at 6 p.m.


North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board announced this week that the Town will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, highlighted by a ceremony at Town Hall on September 27 at 6 p.m. prior to the regularly scheduled Town Board meeting.

As part of the ceremony Supervisor Bosworth and each Councilperson will honor a Hispanic-American from their community who has positively influenced and enriched society.

“In the Town of North Hempstead we are proud to embrace the heritage and culture of all those who live within our boundaries,” Supervisor Bosworth said. “Hispanic Heritage Month gives us all a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the many contributions of Hispanic-Americans in our community.”
