Happy Kwanza From The Rockland Report

Published

on

Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African Americans together as a community. He founded US, a cultural organization, and started to research African “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu, to form the basis of the week-long holiday. Kwanzaa 2024 begins on Thursday, December 26, and lasts through Wednesday, January 1, 2024.

It’s been great seeing so many families at Veterans Memorial Park and we are excited to see the ice skating pond open to residents for the first weekend in quite some time! For skating, Orangetown Parks and Recreation opens the larger of their two ponds, and is located next to the dog park and pickleball courts.
Please always check for green flags before skating. Green means safe for skating, red means unsafe/no skating. Ice thickness is measured daily by our staff as the weather can change.

Dino The Tabby Cat Is Looking For A Loving Home Can It Be Your Home

Published

on

Dino, an adorable 6-month old tabby boy! His story is remarkable. He was neutered several months ago along with his two siblings, but at that time, he was not considered friendly enough to be kept for adoption and was returned to his colony. Soon after, we received a call from those caring for him in the colony that something was wrong with his rear-end. We were able to trap him again, brought him to the vet, and found out that he had a prolapsed rectum. By quickly taking care of this problem, we were able to save his life. The bonus of this happening, because we had to hold onto him for several months, is that we realized he really likes human contact and is now a sweet and adoptable kitten!!  He’s currently living in a large cage in a foster’s home, but he makes the best of it by playing with his toys and rolling over for belly rubs. He’s a curious and adorable purr-machine! Dino will be quite timid at first in his new home, but he craves love and attention and given some time, will adjust wonderfully. Dino is neutered, vaccinated and negative for FeLV and FIV. Please open your heart to this precious little boy who has been through a lot and was given a second chance to now have a forever loving home. Please call 845-634-0345. This is a landline phone, so kindly leave a message if you get a VM and your call will be returned. We are a 501(c)(3) cat rescue group in Rockland for over 29 years. Thank you!!
