Published

on

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – The Rockland GAA will be holding an open meeting for all those with an interest in the future of Rockland GAA on Friday, February 2nd at 7pm. “If you feel you have something to contribute, don’t sit on the sidelines and complain about it. Attend the AGM and get involved, put your ideas forward – get your point across. Have your say in the future of the Green & White. Listen to what is going on inside your club. Learn what it takes to run the club effectively. Meet the decision makers – even become a decision maker. This is not a closed forum.” said the Rockland GAA invitation,

Everyone is a volunteer, everyone has a part to play. Find out what it takes to become an active volunteer. Find out what the club is doing for you, your children, and your community. Maybe you are a former player or coach and want to get involved again. Maybe your family has a long-standing association with the club, but you are disconnected and want to get involved. Don’t listen to those telling you “it takes up so much of your time” – remember why you first became involved with the club – the GAA is one big family who is there for each other.

The Rockland GAA is located at 160 Old Orangeburg Road in Orangeburg, NY.

Officially known as Washington’s Birthday, the holiday was originally meant to honor the country’s first president, George Washington. Eventually, the holiday included Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12. Presidents Day is observed on the third Monday of February each year. 

According to the then-used Julian calendar, Washington was born in Virginia on Feb. 11, 1731. In 1752  Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar, which moved his birthday a year and 11 days to Feb. 22, 1732.

During the American Revolution, George Washington stayed at the DeWint House in Tappan. The DeWint House is the oldest surviving building in Rockland County. George Washington also camped out at Washington’s Encampment in West Nyack on Strawtown Road.

Your kindness might make a world of difference to somebody. This is the best week for you to show your support for the cause and help out someone in need.”
