Patterson is ‘a real contributor'

    To the editor: We write in support of Eileen Patterson’s candidacy for trustee of the Village of Warwick. Former business administrator, now home owner and full-time mother of three children - two currently in our public schools with the third to follow - we expect that she will bring a fresh and youthful outlook to the Village Board of Trustees. As a reporter for the Warwick Valley Dispatch, Mrs. Patterson attended meetings and work sessions of the various village boards. Her reports evidenced a keen understanding of the proceedings; they were factual and suitably detailed, yet fairly presented competing points of view on matters in contention. She has reported on other events in the life of our community and participates in a variety of school and public service activities. In the process, she has become a familiar and welcome presence in our midst, knowledgeable about local current events and alert to concerns of residents. Mrs. Patterson has been a self-employed small business systems consultant and integral member of the equity risk management sales team of a large international bank. All of this experience will enhance her effectiveness in management of our local government. Join us in electing Eileen Patterson. Already a real contributor to our community, she will accomplish even more for us with a seat on the Village Board of Trustees. Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes Village of Warwick
