BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF CRAWFORD

CONTINUATION OF FIRE DISTRICTS
Section 1. Legislative intent. The report of the incorporation of a village with boundaries coterminous with the boundaries of the Town of Crawford was delivered to the Secretary of State on December 28, 2023. Section 17-1720 of the state Village Law provides that a local law may be adopted providing that any fire district, fire protection district, fire alarm district or any district functioning pursuant to §186 of the state Town Law which is located wholly or partly within the boundaries of such village shall continue to function in all respects, and all officers and employees of such entity shall continue to hold their offices and exercise their powers and duties, as though such village were not incorporated. That is the intent of this local law.
Section 2. The Code of the Town of Crawford is amended by adding a new chapter, designated as Chapter 13 and titled “Continuation of Fire Districts,” to read as follows:
§13-1. The Pine Bush Fire District and Bullville Fire District shall continue to function, in all respects whatsoever, and all officers and employees of those fire districts shall continue to hold their offices and exercise their powers and duties, as though the village established pursuant to the state Village Law were not incorporated.
Section 3. Severability. If any part or provision of this local law or the application thereof to any person or circumstance be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part or provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this local law or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances, and the Town Board hereby declares that it would have enacted this local law or the remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision been apparent.
Section 4. Supersession. The Town Board hereby declares its legislative intent to supercede any provision of the state Town Law and Village Law and any other provision of law that the Town may supercede pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law and the Constitution of the State of New York. The courts are requested to take notice of this legislative intent and apply it in the event the Town Board has failed to specify any provision of law that may require supersession. The Town Board hereby declares that it would have enacted this local law and superceded such inconsistent provision had it been apparent.
Section 5. This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.

Occasionally, we invite speakers to come discuss programs that are of general interest to seniors. After the business meeting, members who want to stay for Bingo are welcome. Bingo cards are $1 each. No meeting is held if the Pine Bush Schools are closed or have a 2-hour delay due to inclement weather. To join, you must attend three meetings at no cost to you. After that, the dues are $2 for the meeting. Once you hit 90 years of age, there are no dues!

During the year, we are offering bus trips to the dinner theater at Hunterdon Hills to see Matilda, Wind Creek Casino and Outlet Malls, and Villa Roma’s Octoberfest, which offers a hearty luncheon and a show. In addition, we will go to a local restaurant for the Installation of Officers luncheon. New calendars generally come out in January. Officers for the club are elected in May. Our current president is Kay Phillips with Elizabeth Kondelka as Vice-president. Our Treasurer is Betty Moorhouse and the Secretary is Tom Dunn.
