Dear Residents -
Can you believe it is already the last Friday of July? I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as the South Orangetown Little League 12u All Star Softball Team is, after having just beat NJ with a 1-0 victory to become the East Region Champs!
Upon hearing the news yesterday, staff member Carmel Reilly jumped into action to ensure that the girls arrived home to a well-deserved celebration. Special thanks to the Orangetown Police Department and Rockland County Sheriff’s Department for escorting the team, with lights and sirens blazing, as well as the Orangeburg, Blauvelt, Tappan, Sparkill and Piermont Fire Departments and the South Orangetown Ambulance Corp. for showing up in full force to line the street with their trucks.

The team is now heading to North Carolina to compete in the 2021 Little League World Series. Congratulations ladies and best of luck in North Carolina. We are all so very proud of you.
This week we welcomed a new business to Orangetown – Allie’s Bakery in the Orangetown Shopping Center. Having had a taste of some of their treats, trust me it is worth the trip (just leave any diet concerns at home). Beautiful cakes, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and more! Be sure to stop by and welcome them to Orangetown.
Lastly, if you are looking for something fun to do tomorrow (rain date of 8/1), come on out to the First Champion Pickleball Tournament at Veteran’s Memorial Park. It kicks off at 8 am and the championship game is at 1:45 pm. I’ll be there to cheer on my mom and sister as their teams vie for the title of champion. I know this very enthusiastic group of pickleballers would love to see some of you on the sidelines.
Whatever you choose to do this weekend, enjoy!
Regards,
