Living Resources’ After School Program Celebrates at Kingpin’s Alley
Day Community Opportunities Program Comes Together for a BBQ
Sharing the Journey – May 2026
There is nothing quite like a summer barbecue to bring people together, and recently, a few of our Day Community Opportunities Program (DCOP) groups did just that on a grand scale. While a typical cookout might bring one county or program together, this special event was a true regional celebration. Individuals and staff traveled from Orange, Columbia, Ulster, Rockland, Westchester, and Dutchess counties to share a day of community, connection, and pure fun.
The beautiful Cluett Schantz Memorial Park in Milton, New York, served as the perfect backdrop for the festivities. With plenty of green space and sunshine, the park quickly filled with the sounds of laughter, lively music, and the unmistakable aroma of a classic summer grill. The spread was a true crowd-pleaser, featuring classic hamburgers and hot dogs, crunchy chips, refreshing beverages, and a wonderful variety of potluck-style side dishes and desserts brought in by individuals in the attending counties.
Beyond the fantastic food, the day was packed with energy and activities. The park pavilion transformed into a dance floor as music played, while others took to the lawns for outdoor games or simply strolled through the park grounds. However, the true highlight of the day wasn’t just the food or the games. It was the people. Because this event brought together so many different counties, it provided a rare and beautiful opportunity for individuals and staff alike to step outside their usual routines, meet new peers, and strengthen cross-county friendships that don't always get to happen face-to-face.
Looking around the park, the smiles on everyone's faces said it all. Events like this remind us of the vibrant, supportive community we are building together at Living Resources. A huge thank you goes out to all the dedicated staff members who truly embodied our agency value of Collaboration, helping coordinate transportation, grilling, and activities. It was a beautiful reminder of how much closer we become when we celebrate as one.

While most eyes are looking at the main election in November, the June primaries are just as important for a variety of reasons. They can throw unexpected wrenches into a race, reveal the motivations of key voting groups, and signal larger patterns that may come into play in the general election.
