Dear Residents -
Monday is Veterans Day, a time to pay your respects to our veterans, and celebrate and honor them for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve.
In observance of the holiday, several events are taking place this weekend. On Sunday, the Raymond W. DeMeola VFW Memorial Post 1615 is holding its annual Veterans Day Observance at 10 am at the Walkway of Heroes. This is located at the corner of Independence Avenue and Lester Drive in Tappan.
Then, starting at 11 am on Sunday, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 329 will be hosting its 2nd annual Sunday Brunch at the AOH Hibernian House. It is free to all veterans, but there is a $20 per person entry fee for others. It includes a hot brunch, two drink tickets and music. For more details, see the flyer below.
Then on Monday, the Carl A. Schelin American Legion Post 1271 will be hosting its annual ceremony at the Tappan Memorial Triangle at 11 am. As always, all are welcome.
And as if that weren’t enough to do this weekend, the Tappan Fire Department is hosting its 4th Annual Tappan Fire 5K Run/Walk on Sunday. It starts at 9:30 am at the German Masonic Grounds, and the proceeds benefit the Volunteer Fire Association of Tappan. What a healthy way to start your morning!
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I want to remind everyone that the Town offers a free Thanksgiving dinner to any Orangetown veteran. To order a dinner, please contact my assistant, Allison Kardon, call her at (845) 359-5100 x 2293 or email to veteran@orangetown.com. The dinners will be handed out on Saturday, November 23, 2024 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at Town Hall.
Just a reminder, Town Hall will be closed on Monday, November 11, 2024 in honor of Veterans Day.
To veterans everywhere, thank you for your sacrifice.
Regards,
