FOC Newsletter, President's Letter, Summer 2025
Greetings Friends!
Looking back at this past Spring, we experienced exhilarating highs that made me so proud and devastating lows that tested our resilience. We lost two wonderful members of our Connetquot family; Caitlain McIntrye Holtslag and Keith Snedecor. The character of Connetquot will change with their passing. Keith’s contribution to the park and his love for sharing the history of his family and the club will forever be remembered. And Caitlin was truly one of a kind with her vibrant spirit, love for the environment, and her infectious laugh.
We had an amazing Big Check Presentation with the John C. Dunphy Private Foundation whose funds will go towards the construction of the Red Loop Accessible Trail and we had fun riding around on the trails with the “all terrain” wheelchairs Albany brought downstate for us to demo.
The Yellow trail has been entered onto the Birdability Trail System and we are acquiring binoculars and other assistive devices for patrons use. I hope to see you out on the trails before the summer heat is upon us! Get Offline and Get Out There! There are so many health benefits to being outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of the Preserve. Let’s get EVERYONE outside!
See you out there,
Janetmarie
