Up a Lazy River
The July 15 boat trip on the Hudson River was just the thing for a summer afternoon outing. From the deck of the boat, passengers had wonderful views of Storm King Mountain, Breakneck Ridge, Bannerman’s Island, Cold Spring Harbor and Garrison’s Landing.

ARC of Rockland is saddened by the loss of Senator Thomas P. Morahan—a true champion of people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Renowned for his dedication to our cause, Senator Morahan’s legislative efforts on our behalf will never be forgotten. Here was a man with a generous heart, a fine mind and the determination to stand up for his convictions. He will be sorely missed.
