ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES 2011 IS COMING ON APRIL 5.  Join us as we go BAREFOOT for  a day.  Stay tuned for details.

We hereby propose that the village of Nyack officially declare Thursday, April 8th, 2010, A Day Without Shoes, in order to raise awareness in Nyack about the importance of shoes in other parts of the world where the feet of children are exposed to debilitating diseases. The Village of Nyack cares deeply for its own children and, for one day, its residents can turn their attention to the children of the world.

So many of the world's children in developing countries grow up without shoes, having to walk miles to get food and water, medical help, and attend school, which often require shoes as uniform. A leading cause of disease in these areas is soil-based parasites.

We are asking participating members of Nyack's Day Without Shoes to go barefoot for part of the day and join such far-flung places as the international cities of Venice, London and Dubai in Barefoot events on April 8th.

The problem is large but the solution is simple. Wearing shoes and basic hygiene can prevent both infection and disease due to unsafe roads and contaminated soil. By imagining a life barefoot, the residents of Nyack will contribute to the awareness of these conditions.

Working Towards a GREENER Earth
Giving Back
Being a business owner in Nyack means more than just tending the shop.  As Maria Luisa shows, it means tending the community as well.  She works together with other merchants to maintain each other’s business health, frequently
referring customers to neighboring stores. Maria also brings her drive and business smarts to many local rganizations, serving on the boards of the Nyack Center, the Arts, Crafts, and Antique Dealers Association, and the NAACP. And two of our most crucial local organizations are lucky to have Maria serve as co-chair: the Rockland Coalition for Undoing Racism, and the Friends of the Nyacks, many of whose events she has generously sponsored. Recently, Maria has been a ponsor of events at Riverspace as well, which thrives thanks to support from local businesses like hers.
“The diversity of Nyack is one reason I love living here,” Maria says. So she’s doing her part to keep us aware,
strong, and thriving as a community.
