Dear Residents -
The Community ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at Orangetown’s splash pad was a great day– with the community coming together, having fun and showing support to a resident recently diagnosed with ALS. More important, however, was that we raised $26,500 for the ALS United Greater New York and are looking forward to presenting a check to them in the near future. But I would be remiss not to thank all of the teams, and everyone who donated, got dunked on or just watched to show their support. Be sure to check out the short video to see how much fun was had.
On September 10, 2024, I joined the other Town Supervisors at Dominican University for the annual Palisades Institute Forum. We discussed a variety of issues, including economic development, the housing shortage and much more. Congratulations to Sr. Kathleen Sullivan and Stan Jacoby, who were both honored at the forum for their years of service to the Palisades Institute.
Last Saturday, I attended the Fire Truck Dedication and Open House at the Pearl River Fire Department. While I was allowed to sit in a new truck, for obvious reasons, I was not allowed to drive it! As it was only a few days after 9-11, I also used the opportunity to thank our dedicated, professional volunteer firemen and firewomen.
It looks like it’s going to be a dry weekend, so why not check out the vendors at the Pearl River Farmers Market, including SOVA Farm, Doc Pickle (Who knew people ate pickles on a stick?), Manor Sangria, Annie’s Ginger Elixir, Joey’s Market, the Orchards of Conklin and so much more. It is Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm at the Central Avenue Field. If Saturday doesn’t work, you can head over to the Piermont Farmers Market on Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm at Flywheel Park.
Whatever you choose to do, have a great weekend everyone!
Regards,
