Dear Residents -
I ask all of you to pray for the people of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, who have been so tragically impacted by Hurricane Helene. With a death toll now over 223, hundreds still missing and the destruction of so many homes, our fellow Americans need all the help they can get. If you are looking to donate, HERE is a link to many highly-rated charities that are providing relief.
Unfortunately, the Orangetown Hungers 5K Heroes Run/Walk that was scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled due to the low number of people who signed up. We understand it is a busy time of year and there are many events going on. However, there are local families that struggle with food insecurity so, if you can, please consider donating to Meals on Wheels, the South Orangetown Food Pantry or another local food pantry. Click HERE for a list of local food pantries.
Saturday is going to be a busy day in Orangetown, with the Great American Cleanup at the Orangeburg Library from 10 am to 12 pm, the Pearl River Farmers Market at the Central Avenue Field from 10 am to 2 pm, and the Kyle John Boyce Fundraiser at the GAA from 12 pm to 6 pm.
Then on Sunday, we have one of my favorite events, Goodstock! This event is organized by Neil Berg, Johnny Markowski and Joe D'Urso, and benefits People to People. This year the show is dedicated to the memory of Tim O'Donohue, who had been part of Goodstock since its inception and recently passed away. To purchase tickets or make a donation, please click here.
With today being the last day of Rosh Hashanah, I hope that everyone who celebrates has a sweet New Year, L'Shana Tova.
Have a great weekend and be sure to enjoy time with family and friends.
Regards,
