Dear Residents -
It is hard to believe that we are only one week away from Halloween and Day Light Savings time. To think, we are only ten weeks away from New Year’s Eve, the start of 2021 and the end of my first year as your Town Supervisor. To say that my first year was not what I expected would be an understatement. While it has been challenging to say the least, I have never been more proud of the residents and businesses of Orangetown.
During “Pause,” you rallied to raise money for the food pantries by participating in our Virtual 5k. This time around, we sent out a call to help save Halloween for our children and again you did not disappoint. Donations poured into Town Hall – offers of time, checks, candy and more! I am proud to live in a town where we look out for each other and our neighbors, and am privileged to be your Supervisor.
The weatherman tells me that tonight and all day tomorrow promises to be great - so get out there and enjoy the sun and the foliage before winter starts to set in. And if you're looking for something to do tonight, the 2021 Penguin Plunge will be fundraising for 12 year old Louis Caputo of Orangeburg and 2 year old Elijah Torres of Valley Cottage with a concert in Veteran's, starting at 7:00pm. They're bringing back the original Boys in the Attic band, with Jules and Sammi Quinn stepping in for their father, Michael Quinn.
So, whatever you have on tap for your weekend, go and enjoy it. Remember to continue to social distance, wear your masks and wash your hands.
Respectfully,
