Dear Residents -
 
Halloween is upon us and I am happy to once again see so many fun activities for children and adults alike to enjoy. Starting Friday, there is the Halloween Dance Party Trunk or Treat from 3 pm to 5 pm on the Central Avenue Field in Pearl River. On Saturday, there is the Nyack Halloween Promenade from 12 pm to 8 pm in downtown Nyack. Ending on Sunday with the 2nd Annual Food Truck & Trunk or Treat Event from 3 pm to 6 pm at Tappan Zee High School, followed by the Orangeburg Fire Department Halloween Parade from 6 pm to 8 pm.      
 
With Halloween’s arrival, however, it also makes me realize that Election Day, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Day are not that far away. And if Thanksgiving is not that far away, then you know that the Chanukah and Christmas seasons are fast approaching. 
 
Lots of things going on over the course of this weekend and the next few weeks. Early voting is open till 2pm Sunday, October 31st. Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd and the polls are open from 6 am till 9 pm. Veteran's Day is Thursday, November 11th. If you see a Veteran, thank them for their service. For other events, check out my newsletter below.
 
A shout out to our residents and friends who showed up at the Town Clerk's paper shredding event on Saturday, October 16th. The Clerk's office collected 1,241 pounds of food and almost $600 in cash donations. People to People, Rosanna Sfraga and her staff thank you very much for your generosity.
 
Stay safe (and dry!)


Respectfully,

National Red Ribbon Week

Each year communities nationwide join together to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse by wearing a red ribbon from October 23rd to 31st, which is the National Red Ribbon Week. Various activities have been scheduled throughout the month of October to celebrate the Red Ribbon Campaign.

The campaign provides communities with a forum to bring together parents, schools and business to find new and innovative ways to keep kid’s drug free.

The 2021 National Red Ribbon Week Theme, Drug Free Looks Like Me™ created by Marin Wurst, a 7th grader at Solon Middle School in Solon, Ohio, the Theme is a reminder that everyday Americans across the country make significant daily contributions to their communities by being the best they can be because they live Drug-Free!

The first Red Ribbon Celebration was organized in 1986 by a grassroots organization of parents concerned about the destruction caused by alcohol and drug abuse. The red ribbon was adopted as a symbol of the movement in honor of Enrique “KiKi” Camarena an agent with the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration who was kidnapped and killed while investigating drug traffickers. The campaign has reach millions of children and has been recognized by the U.S Congress.

Thank you to the Rockland Council on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependence, Inc. for providing the red ribbons our officers are wearing this week!
