Dear Residents -
It is going to be another busy weekend. And, for me, it is going to be an early start at the Solace 5K Walk tomorrow. Registration begins at 5:30 am and the walk is at 6:00 am. Solace House provides free, confidential, therapeutic counseling for anyone who is experiencing suicidal thoughts or distress, as well as those who have been bereaved by suicide. To register or for more information, click here.
Tomorrow is also the Orangetown Highway Open House from 10 am to 12 pm. It is a great event, with vendors, trucks, equipment demonstrations and more. And, of course, the Pearl River Farmers Market runs from 10 am to 2 pm at the Central Avenue Field. Wellington Pot Pie’s will be there – if you haven’t tried them, you do not know what you are missing. But get there early, before they sell out.
The Annual Memorial Service at the Rockland County Courthouse on Main Street in New City is also tomorrow at 11 am. This ceremony is hosted by Sheriff Falco every year at the end of National Police Week. Then, at 12 pm, there is the Field of Honor Opening Ceremony. Hosted each year by the Carl A. Schelin Post 1271 of Tappan, NY, in partnership with the Volunteer Fire Association of Tappan and the Tappan Reformed Church, this ceremony recognizes our fallen veterans and active servicemen and servicewomen. It is being held at the Tappan Reformed Church “Manse Lawn,” where over 250 flags will be displayed from May 18th - July 6th.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Carmel Reilly for her work on the Second Annual Golden Gala. It took place last week and was a fantastic day for our seniors, with good food, wonderful music and lots of dancing! The photo booth, sponsored by Sharyn McTigue, was a huge success (just look at the photos below). I am already looking forward to next year when, sadly, I will be age eligible to attend.
Unfortunately, the “Coffee and a Chat” with Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker that was scheduled for tomorrow is being postponed. Stay tuned for a new date in the following weeks.
So much to do! Whatever you decide, just get out and enjoy.
Regards –
