Garden City Residents and Merchants have a strong commitment to the Village. This is illustrated by their involvement in a variety of community organizations contributing to the ambiance, compassion and generosity of the community.
Garden City's strong sense of community manifests itself in the large mumber of religious, social, civic and charitable organizations that perform good works and enrich lives throughout Garden City and beyond - and in the large number of people who volunteer their time to make it all happen. We sincerely thank the fine business firms who have purchased advertising in our 2008-2009 Community Guide and Calendar of Events, thereby helping us to bring you an attractive and informative publication.
