Recently, I had the honor of attending the Awards Dinner of Wappinger Youth Football League. It was a privilege to present Town of Wappinger commendations to the football players and the Cheerleaders, and to pay tribute to these future leaders for their achievements and accomplishments. My thanks to Glenn Dockery, Shireen Scott, and all executive board members for inviting me to such a joyous event. Congratulations to players and parents for your exceptional efforts!
Congratulations to students from the Orchard View School, Wappingers Central School District for winning Cablevision’s “Power to Learn” campaign against Cyber-bullying! For their efforts in obtaining school-wide pledges against Cyber-bullying, the students received a $2,000 check from Cablevision to be used for their campaign to end this menace. Thank you to Roger Connor, Director of Governmental Affairs at Cablevision for honoring these students and their teacher, Ms. Jessica Brannen.

Recycle Center
We are asking for volunteers to serve on a “Recycle Center Oversight” Committee. We need people to look over the recycle center operations and let us know of any problems with the fee structure, admission to the center, or general policies. Your input is essential and we thank you in advance for any help and suggestions you can give. Please call the Supervisor’s office at 297-2744 or e-mail me. if you have suggestions or can volunteer your time!
The Supervisor’s office is arranging to have the recycle center fee schedule posted on our Town website and the Town’s Channel 22, Cablevision. We will also ask the Poughkeepsie Journal and Southern Dutchess News to publish the fees. As always, my door is open to you should you have questions or concerns.
