Dear Friends,
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an amazing 2019 for Sag Harbor and the Sag Harbor Partnership.
In March 2019, the NYS Review Board voted unanimously to recommend the SANS Historic District for nomination to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. We are grateful for a Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation Grant received by the Partnership in 2018 which assisted in this community endeavor.
We launched the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center as its own 501(c)3 and relit the Sag Harbor Cinema sign in May. Construction is ongoing and the new Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center hopes to open its doors in March of 2020. While in its final stages of reconstruction, the SHC’s HERE COMES THE CINEMA! series is screening in various locals with special guest hosts. Your financial support in this endeavor has been extraordinary and we hope you will continue to support this community project through membership and patronage. To donate, click here.
In 2019 we funded a grant to the Sag Harbor Water Quality Initiative for monitoring and analysis of the water of Sag Harbor’s bays and coves by the Stony Brook School of Marine and Atmospheric Studies. We also sponsored the creation of bicycle racks made by John Battle Ironworks which are stationed around the Village. In August the John Steinbeck Waterfront Park, which was the first BIG TENT fund raiser in 2016, was dedicated.

Thanks to the support of a generous community, both in time and in treasure, much has been accomplished this past year. With your help, we look forward to an amazing 2020!
Wishing you and your families good health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year.
Thanks for making our Village shine brightly!

NADA BARRY AWARDED COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
Nada Barry in the Wharf Shop, Photo Credit: Christine Sampsoon
We are delighted to report that Nada Barry, longtime owner of the Wharf Shop and passionate supporter of children in Sag Harbor, received our annual Sag Harbor Partnership Community Service Award on Sunday, October 21st, 6pm,
in Baron's Cove's beautiful Map Room. We thank Baron's Cove for their sponsorship of this event.
This private event honored a woman who has striven to make activities and enrichment for both children and Sag Harbor's Main Street a central focus of her life, participating in a myriad of community meetings and activities like the Library Board and the Sag Harbor Schools' Key Communicators Meetings. In an excellent Sag Harbor Express article by Christine Sampson on Ms. Barry, Nick Gazzolo, Sag Harbor Partnership's President, was quoted as saying, "She speaks to us and is sort of like the conscience of Sag Harbor. She is there to challenge us, to compliment us, remind us of how things used to be done where we might have forgotten or didn’t know. She is the keeper of so much Sag Harbor history and tradition.”
Besides the Wharf Shop, Nada helped start the Hayground School, the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce, and the Sag Harbor Youth Committee, which led to sagharborkids.org, which is still going strong, as is she!
