It shall be the purpose of the Friends of the Nyacks to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of all persons visiting, residing, or working in the Hudson River Villages of Upper Nyack, Nyack, and South Nyack. Recognizing the richness of their history, the stateliness of their architecture, the splendor of their physical setting and the unique amalgam of their people, the Friends of the Nyacks shall endeavor, through education and joint action, to stimulate pride in the heritage of these communities, to preserve and accentuate their unmatched physical and cultural assets, and to unleash the creative talents of the people who have chosen to live in these communities.
