Happy New Year!

As we start this brand new year, FTDT has much to be thankful for and proud of. Collectively, we:

* Brought back the summer concerts that everyone enjoys so much
* Helped build community and support sustainability through the Farmer’s Market
* Brought thousands of kids and parents to downtown with our fun Nightmare on Broad Street event
* Produced another awesomely festive Torchlight Parade and Carol Sing Along
* Helped people recognize those dear to them through heartwarming dedications at the brick ceremonies
* Put things in place to soon adorn Broad Street with really cool banners
* Continued to help small businesses with guidance and advice, and by facilitating the successful gift card program
* Managed FTDT to a solid financial position
* Gathered and shared amazing photos, stories, information, and energy through our social media program

Have a happy new year!

Sincerely,
Richard Esposito, President
