RC Sportsman's Club hosts fishing derby for kids at Queenman's Filtration Plant

The Village of Ravena Board Meeting on June 3, 2025, covered several important topics, including community events, financial approvals, and updates on local services.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the announcement of the RC Sportsman's Club's annual fishing derby, scheduled for Sunday at the Queenman's Filtration Plant. This free event is open to children up to age 15 or 16, providing fishing gear and prizes for participants. The club has hosted this event for nearly 40 years, and organizers encouraged community involvement, including volunteer opportunities.

The board also addressed financial matters, approving two sets of audited bills. The first was for the fiscal year ending May 2025, totaling $95,248.56, and the second for the new fiscal year starting June 2025, amounting to $36,819.74.

In personnel updates, the board appointed Angela Rocca as an alternate member of the planning zoning board to fill a recent vacancy. Additionally, the board discussed the upcoming opening of the village pool, which is set to open earlier this year due to the successful hiring of lifeguards. The appointed lifeguards include Jasmine Powell as director and several others at varying hourly rates based on their experience.

The meeting concluded with information about pool access for residents and non-residents, including pricing for passes and daily entry fees. The board emphasized that residents of the town of Queen and the village can access the pool for free, while non-resident passes are available for purchase.

Overall, the meeting underscored the village's commitment to community engagement and the efficient management of local resources as summer approaches.
