Today is #internationalwomensday and we would like to Recognize Rockland’s First Female Town Supervisor Teresa Kenny

In 2019, she was the first woman in Rockland County history to be elected to a town supervisor’s post.

Supervisor Kenny is a lifelong Rockland County resident and the daughter of a retired New York City Police Officer. She graduated from Iona College and St. John’s University Law School.

Teresa began her career as an attorney for Con-Ed from 1990 to 1996, before being hired by Orangetown as a part-time Deputy Town Attorney. She is currently serving her first term and will be running for a second as Town of Orangetown Supervisor.

Beginning at midnight on May 29, ceremonial watchfires will be lit across Rockland County and will burn continuously for 24 hours in honor of America’s fallen service members.

Organized by Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 333, the annual tradition serves as a solemn tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Community members are encouraged to participate in the respectful retirement of worn and unserviceable American flags. Flags may be dropped off at any watchfire location, and pickup arrangements are also available.

Throughout the vigil, veterans will stand watch in rotating shifts beside the fires, continuing a long-standing Memorial Day tradition observed throughout the county.

The four official Watchfire locations are:

  • Clausland Mountain Park
  • Piermont Pier
  • Bowline Point Park
  • Eugene Levy Memorial Park

Residents are invited to visit at any time during the 24-hour vigil to pay their respects, honor the fallen, and support the local veterans helping preserve this meaningful Memorial Day tradition.
