Glenda Davis, Drusilla Kinzonzi, Anjoo Vohra and Charlene Weaver.
“Each of these women has spent decades giving back to others, particularly our children,” Rockland County Legislature Vice Chairman Dr. Aney Paul said. “Their efforts and lifelong contributions show a deep commitment, tenacity, and love of service that is deserving of our recognition and gratitude. I am honored to celebrate them as this year’s Women’s History Month honorees.”
Legislator Paul, and County Legislators Beth Davidson and Dana G. Stilley led a ceremony that included the presentation of the Distinguished Service Award to each honoree – the Legislature’s highest award. Legislator Paul presented the DSA to Glenda Davis and Anjoo Vohra; Legislator Davidson to Charlene Weaver and Legislator Stilley to Drusilla Kinzonzi.
Women’s History Month commemorates and encourages the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history – then and now. The 2025 Women’s History Month theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations,” spotlights the contributions women have made to the American educational system, the free marketplace of ideas, and the very fabric of our democracy.
“In a year in which ‘Moving Forward Together’ is the Women’s History Month theme, I cannot think of a better honoree than Charlene Weaver,” Legislator Davidson said. “As a teacher at Nyack Public Schools for more than five decades, Charlene helped countless students move forward into their bright futures. I am delighted this humble and outstanding woman allowed us to recognize her many accomplishments today.”
Legislator Stilley said that Rockland is fortunate that these women have shared their time and talents with our community. “I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand their ability to touch lives and inspire all generations to seek knowledge, unite, and serve,” Legislator Stilley said. “Drusilla Kinzonzi’s story, and those of all of our honorees, serve as blueprints that honor our past and lay the groundwork for our path forward.”

NEW CITY, NY — Town of Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann and the Town Board will officially opened the new Councilman Mark Woods All-Inclusive Playground at Zukor Park during a dedication ceremony on Friday, June 20. The park is located at 31 Zukor Road in New City, NY.

The state-of-the-art playground was designed to be fully accessible for children and families of all abilities. Features include inclusive play equipment, a sun awning, safety surfacing, and new landscaping and walkways that ensure easy navigation for individuals with mobility challenges.

This important community project is named in honor of Councilman Mark Woods, who passed away unexpectedly last year. Before his passing, Woods worked closely with Supervisor Hoehmann on plans to bring this vision to life.

“Councilman Woods was passionate about creating inclusive spaces for every family in our community,” said Supervisor Hoehmann. “This playground is a tribute to his legacy and the values he championed.”

Congressman Mike Lawler Remarks

The new facility at Zukor Park aims to promote social interaction, physical activity, and fun in a safe, welcoming environment for children of all abilities, reinforcing Clarkstown’s commitment to accessibility and community wellness.
