A Fresh Chapter Ahead for the Village Circle
Sea Cliff, NY · November 8, 2026
Sunday quiet settles over the bluff this morning, but live acoustic strings await down on Roslyn Avenue this afternoon. Pour that second mug of coffee before heading out into the cool air.
The Lead
The humble paper bulletin tucked into village mailboxes is heading toward a quiet reinvention. At their latest work session, village trustees tackled what Mayor Elena Villafane called an “existential moment” for the Sea Cliff Circle, the longstanding municipal publication that keeps neighbors apprised of local civic life.
With Village Administrator Bruce Kennedy stepping back from his role compiling the newsletter, Village Hall is preparing to hand editorial duties to a new village organizer while clarifying what belongs in print. Under updated submission guidelines, announcements must now come directly from the primary sponsoring organization rather than third-party summaries—meaning the fire department, library, and civic committees will officially author their own notices. As officials finalize candidates to manage future layouts, the board’s public comment meeting tomorrow evening offers residents a look at how Sea Cliff preserves its cherished print traditions in an increasingly digital world.

Spotlight & Story
- Tilley Place
- Tucked near the harbor bluff, this quiet lane honors early village mayor Arthur Tilley and his pioneering family, who operated a 19th-century steamboat landing and waterfront pavilion below. Their steep wooden stairway still guides neighbors straight down to the sand.
