To:    All Saltaire Homeowners

 

From: Mario Posillico, Village Administrator

 

Once again, the Village is underwriting the purchase of Adult 40-trip ferry ticket books for sale to Saltaire residents. Our contract with the Fire Island Ferries allows for the Village’s purchase of discount 40-trip adult books for resale to Saltaire homeowners only at a price of $212.00 per book.

TO ORDER

The maximum allotment of books in this initial offer is 3 per household. Please fill out and mail the attached form to the address listed on the form, with your check made out to the Village of Saltaire, by March 30. (See form for details.) If our inventory is sufficient after August 1, each household will have the opportunity to purchase one additional book at the discount price. Contact the Village office at that time to check on availability.

 

DISTRIBUTION OF TICKET BOOKS

All ticket books will be HELD FOR PICK-UP this year. The Village office will be open for SATURDAY PICK-UP of ticket books from 9:00am until Noon according to the schedule listed below.  Of course, pick-ups may be made at the office during normal WEEKDAY office hours (Mon - Fri. 9:00 am - 4:00 pm) beginning April 2, or during posted Saturday office hours during the summer season.

 

SATURDAY PICK-UP SCHEDULE

                  Saturday                       April 5 & April 19                                 9:00am - Noon

                        Saturday                       May 3 & May 17                                  9:00am - Noon

                  Saturday                       June 7 & June 21 & June 28                  9:00am - Noon

 

NO CHILDREN’S BOOKS WILL BE SOLD BY THE VILLAGE

We are unable to offer discounted children’s books. These must be purchased at the Fire Island Ferries terminal in Bay Shore, or on the boats.

 

SAVINGS

Although the cost of the book is higher than last year due to the increased ferry fares approved by the Suffolk County Legislature, the discounted price of $212 per book still represents a nice discount for Saltaire residents. The price for the same book if purchased directly from Fire Island Ferries will be $233 per book. If individual tickets are purchased on the boat, 40 trips would cost $320.

 

 

Remember that ONLY DISCOUNT TICKETS PURCHASED THROUGH THE VILLAGE MAY BE REDEEMED for newer tickets from Fire Island Ferries, once the tickets have passed their expiration date. The Village does not redeem tickets. If you have any questions, please call the Village Office @ (631) 583-5566.
