Mayor

Kathleen and I wish all of you the safest, most blessed and happiest New Year.

I received a note from Mike, the gentleman who collected our donations for the homeless. He thanks all of you, saying that Silver Lake went "above and beyond" what was expected. Again, thanks for caring.

The Homeless Drive has been extremely successful. The generosity of so many people has overwhelmed the Peter Maurin Center, so much so that the drive is being ended on January 1, instead of January 15. The response from people has been stupendous. However, if you do still wish to contribute, they are most in need [...]

Kathleen and I wish all of you the most joyous and blessed of days during this holiday season. 2020 may not have been the best of years, but we look forward with hope and optimism to 2021. Stay safe, be well, and God bless you.

So many great outdoor light displays in Silver Lake, the Village is really lit up. Take on drive through the Village in the evening to see how beautifully so many homes have been decorated. Who needs Oglebay when we have it all here in Silver Lake!

Homeless donations continue to arrive at Village Hall on a daily basis. We will accept donations through Jan 15, 2021; needed items are listed on our web page. Thank you for your help and support.

Because Summit County is now in Level 4, I have decided to lockdown Village Hall. Nobody will be allowed in Village Hall during this lockdown period, except for personnel that I deem essential. I understand the frustration and inconvenience this may cause, but I am charged with keeping this community as safe as possible. Please [...]

Silver Lake residents continue to show their kindheartedness and generosity by almost daily bringing items for homeless to Village Hall. Requested items can be found on the Village website. Thank you for caring.

2020 has certainly been a trying year. Yet, despite the pandemic and other unfortunate and troubling events, we still have much for which to be thankful. We live in a great country, and in an idyllic community. We love our families. Kathleen and I wish you a blessed, safe and happy Thanksgiving.

This year's deer cull will be held in the same areas as last year, namely the areas behind the service department, Crystal Lake and the Markowitz properties. It will start on Sunday, November 29 and last until February 7. Signs will be posted reminding people to avoid these areas during that time period.
