I had the pleasure of attending Hunt Country Furniture’s 100th anniversary celebration and the groundbreaking ribbon cutting for the proposed Hunt Craft Village and trade school. It is a true blending of history and artistic innovation in Eastern Dutchess County.

Touring their historic showroom, in one of the oldest buildings in the county, I could not get over the incredible quality of their handmade furniture. Hearing speakers talk about how their family pieces are still in use today as cherished heirlooms was wonderful.

CEO Lucia Bartovic and her team have a brilliant vision. The new Hunt Craft Village on the Ten Mile River in Dover will be a gathering place for makers to showcase their wares alongside a school to train people in the art of craftsmanship.

Thank you to Town of Dover Supervisor Rich Yeno and our Dover/Pawling County Legislator Andrew House for sharing remarks. I am so excited to see the plans for this creative campus come together!

What a wonderful start to the day celebrating incredible community leadership!

This morning, I had the honor of attending the New Horizons Resources 31st Annual Community Leadership Awards. New Horizons Resources does such vital, inspiring work in our community—empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live full, independent, and meaningful lives.

A huge congratulations to this year’s well-deserved honorees:
CaraMia Bacchiochi
Beth & Jack Devine
Peter Lumb
Thank you all for your extraordinary dedication, leadership, and heart!

Also, a big thank you to the staff at The Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Education Center at the Roosevelt Estate for being such fantastic hosts. The venue was absolutely beautiful, and the warm hospitality made the morning extra special.

Thank you, NHR, for all you do to build a stronger, more inclusive Dutchess County!

What a weekend in Dutchess County! There was so much going on, and I loved every single minute of getting out and about to celebrate our incredible community.

My busy schedule kicked off with a stop at the Crop Walk sponsored by the Dutchess Interfaith Council. It was so inspiring to see everyone coming together to raise vital funds to end hunger both right here at home and around the world.

From there, I had the absolute honor of presenting a proclamation to Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Wappingers Falls. They are celebrating sixty amazing years of serving the Lord and providing wonderful advocacy for Dutchess County residents. Reverend Doctor Edward Hunt and his entire congregation filled the room at Villa Borghese with so much love and hope, all beautifully dressed in different royal shades of purple.

Next up was a quick stop by VFW Post 5913 for their annual Vet Fest. There was lots of great music, wonderful friends, and some truly delicious hot chocolate. And yes, mine was completely covered in whipped cream! Best of all, all proceeds went to support the Hudson Valley Honor Flight.

Then it was off to Baird Park where the Dutchess County Parks Department hosted the Red Knights Motorcycle Club’s second annual Trunk or Treat for kids and families. It was an absolute sea of adorableness with costumed kiddies visiting all the decorated vehicles. There were even a few spooky walkthrough tunnels and a huge surprise when a helicopter touched down right in the field next to the party! Everyone even got to climb inside the chopper for pictures.

Finally, I wrapped up the weekend by presenting Mr. Serino with a very special gift in honor of his birthday. I gave him his very own official certificate declaring him “the most awesome husband ever!”

Yesterday was officially a hole-in-one! For the first time ever, the sun gods truly smiled down on the my Fall Golf Scramble at the beautiful McCann Golf Course in Poughkeepsie. We were blessed with crystal blue autumn skies and warm temperatures that made the course look like something straight out of a fairytale.

A huge thank you to golf pro Vince Benedetto for keeping everything running as smooth as a perfect putt. We also owe a massive shoutout to Chris Kyriacou and the amazing team at Christo’s Catering for being the ultimate food hosts. The lunch and dinner spreads were totally above par!

This day wouldn't happen without the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors, the many incredible teams who came out to play, and everyone who donated to our silent auction. The gift baskets this year were absolutely the bomb—it took every ounce of my self-control not to place a bid on every single one myself!

Thank you to everyone who made yesterday such a swinging success. I’m already green with envy thinking about how much fun we're going to have next year!

Happy Birthday to my amazing husband, Mark!

I promised I wouldn’t spill your age today, but let’s just say it rhymes with “brevity”-and honestly, you make it look easy!

Thank you for always being my anchor when my schedules go totally wild, putting up with the late nights, and riding out every crazy twist that comes with life in public service. Between helping thousands of Dutchess County families through your law practice and keeping our family laughing, you truly do it all.

Anthony and Kaela are so lucky to have you, and I’m even luckier. Best husband anyone could ask for! Can’t wait to celebrate you over a big dinner tonight!

What a special moment presenting distinguished Dutchess County veteran Victor Zamaloff with a proclamation. Victor is a remarkable individual whose life has been defined by service to others.

On the battlefield, Victor obtained the rank of Specialist E-5 and served as a combat medic. Later, he devoted his life to advocacy for others with the Arlington Fire Department, eventually rising to Division Chief.

Now committed to helping his fellow veterans, Victor is the familiar face at
Mental Health America, HERO, VET-TAP and Vet2Vet programs ensuring all voices are heard.

Thank you Victor for all you do for all of us. It’s an honor to call you my friend.

You all remember our little friend Santiago, who visited me in my office with his mother Fallon, his dad, and his wonderful grandparents. Santiago has a Laryngeal Cleft, a rare condition that took years to be correctly diagnosed. October 13 was the day the Meneses family finally learned of his condition and the clear plan to bring him back to health.

It was such a joy to join them at the Inn at Bellefield for the very first Laryngeal Cleft Awareness Day! Seeing Santiago so lively, thriving, and full of energy brought the biggest smile to my face, and it was deeply touching to meet another incredible child living with this condition.

The room was filled with so much love, warmth, and fun for everyone who came out to show their support. I was truly honored to present a special proclamation celebrating this important day and the strength of this incredible little guy and his family.

Thank you to Fallon and the Meneses family for sharing their journey and raising awareness for such an important cause!

What a truly special day in Fishkill! We gathered at the Knights of Columbus to present the Veteran of Distinction award, and I am still beaming.

This event reminds me just how blessed we are in Dutchess County to be surrounded by real-life heroes, but today was extra extraordinary. We had the absolute honor of celebrating our incredible 102-year-old honoree, US Navy Seaman First Class John Yurus. To sit with him, hear his stories, and see the sparkle in his eyes was something I’ll never forget. At 102 years young, he is as sharp as a tack, quick-witted, and possessed an energy that put half the room to shame.

When you think about the sacrifices made by his generation—stepping up to serve our nation during WWII, leaving home, and risking everything so we could enjoy the freedoms we have today—it really grounds you. His courage and dedication represent the very best of who we are, and recognizing his service today was a moment of pure gratitude.

A huge shoutout and thank you to Director Adam Roche and our unbelievable team at Dutchess County Veterans Services. Adam and his crew put their hearts into supporting our local heroes every single day, and partnering with them for meaningful afternoons like this is always an honor.

To our 102-year-old honoree, John, to his family who joined us, and to every veteran across Dutchess County: thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are forever in your debt!

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Joanne North. Joanne was a truly wonderful person whose vivacious spirit, grace, and warmth lit up every room and community event she attended alongside her beloved husband, Charlie.

Beyond her grace as a community partner, she left a lasting mark through her successful career in banking management and her dedicated work as a reading teaching assistant in the Arlington Central School District, helping local children discover the joy of reading. She cared deeply for Dutchess County and everyone she met.

My thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences go out to Charlie and the entire North family during this difficult time.
