The Thomas Driscoll administration (1970-74) encouraged and supported the activities of local service clubs and volunteers, whether it was a beautification project at Westwood Park, or a special recognition to the recently formed Malverne Volunteer Ambulance Corps., or the Malverne Environmental Council, which was begun in the early 1970’s to promote recycling and other earth-friendly practices. It was also during this period that the village celebrated its 50th anniversary.
