Dear Residents –
It is another busy weekend in Orangetown, starting with the Orangetown Highway Department’s Annual Open House from 10 am to 12 pm. Trust me, it is not just for kids, there is plenty to entertain adults too. So, stop over and check it out and be sure to thank the Highway Department employees for the great job that they do.
Then, at 2 pm, the Carl A. Schelin American Legion Post 1271, the Volunteer Fire Association of Tappan, and the Tappan Reformed Church will be having the grand opening of the Field of Honor on the Manse Lawn in Tappan. There will be over 250 flags on display from May 20th until July 8th.
Please note that the Gran Fondo, a long-distance bicycle race, will be using the entire Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail on Sunday between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. So, if possible, try to avoid it during that time period. Some local roads will also be impacted; see below for details.
The Camp Shanks Museum is looking for volunteers to work this summer. The hours are 11:00 am to 3:00 pm most Saturdays and Sundays in June, July and August. You do not need to be a World War II history buff to volunteer and Commander John Gray will be happy to help those who want to learn. You can contact him at (845) 304-6809 or jtgcoach@gmail.com.
Several residents, who are not on social media, have asked me to provide updates on NYC Mayor Adams' plan to house migrants at a hotel in Orangeburg. As of now, there are no updates and the matter will be back in court on May 31, 2023.
I hope that everyone had a nice Mother’s Day last Sunday. I enjoyed spending time with my family and the first barbecue of the season. It was just what the doctor ordered after a busy, stressful week!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Regards,
