In September 2025, a select group of community leaders, appropriatly referred to as "THE ROUNDTABLE", convened to explore collaborative strategies for enhancing our town. These meeting have been taken place sporadically over the last several months. This consortium comprises the presidents and top representatives from the following organizations:
1. Community League of Garden City South Inc.
2. Representative of NCPD Police Commissioner's Community Council
3. Franklin Square Union Free School District
4. Franklin Square School District #17
5. Franklin Square VFW Post 2718
6. Franklin Square Munson Fd
7. Franklin Square & Munson Fire District
8. Morton Civic Association
9. Franklin Square Civic Association
10. Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce
11. Franklin Square Public Library
12. Franklin Square Historical Society
13. Nassau County Fire District Association.
14. Elected Officials & Office Representatives.
We determined that "Flag Day 2026" would serve as an ideal opportunity to put our discussions into action on a smaller scale.
On this occasion, the Franklin Square District Organizations united with community members to exemplify the true meaning of community spirit, WORKING TOGETHER FOR POSITIVE CHANGES.
Thank you to SANDY'S PARTY SUPPLY for the donated ribbons and the Frank P. Curry Jr. VFW Post # 2718 for the donated flags. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jared Bloom donated the Zip ties to secure everything to the poles.
This collaborative effort resulted in the decoration of every lamp post on Hempstead Tpke, Nassau Blvd., Franklin Ave., New Hyde Park Rd., and Dogwood Ave., with small flags and bows, successfully executed through joint efforts.
