Ilan Gilbert; Susan Seigel and Jane Daniels cut the rope to commemorate the trailway opening. e groups, led by Dones, will provide teens and young adults
a chance to speak about their mental and emotional challenges,
as well as educate individuals in coping mechanisms to deal with
depression and anxiety. e e ort is aimed at young adults 16 to
25 years old.

e rst session will take place at 6 p.m. Oct. 3. e group will
begin by introducing individuals, establishing a judgment-free,
safe zone using anxiety-friendly ice breakers.

Dones, a Walter Panas High School graduate, earned her asso-
ciate’s degree in psychology from Westchester Community Col-
lege. Currently, she is pursuing her bachelor’s in psychology from
Mercy College.

As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety, Do-
nes found that one of the best coping mechanisms is peer support.

“People feeling less alone is one of my top goals for this group,”
Dones said.

Patrons took photos with the
Rockettes, which were then in-
stantly printed and framed in-
side snow globes. e kids got
to decorate their snow globes at
a designated arts and crafts area
with glitter stickers and markers.

Children of all ages lined up
to meet the Rockettes, Karen
Ritchie and Natalie Reid.

“I love it! It’s a lot of excite-
ment and happy faces. It’s re-
warding,” Ritchie said.

e line to take pictures was
out the door, but through all
the chaos, it was a sea of smiling
faces.

“It’s wonderful. We’ve gone to
six di erent cities, local towns
and tri-state, to be able to come
and connect with our fans. We
get to see everyone rsthand, it’s
just a really nice time. We get to
meet the people that are in our
audiences and get everyone ex-
cited for Christmas,” Reid said.

Former Library Director Pat
Hallinan said that even though
sometimes a child will cry or be
upset, she feels more are happy
than not.

“It’s the Christmas Spectacu-
lar, so that’s a great thing,” Hal-
linan said.

Supervisor Ilan Gilbert was
also in on the fun, showing
Ritchie and Reid some of his
kickline moves.

e Rockettes, along with the
Madison Square Garden Pro-
ductions, are currently touring
cities in the tri-state area to pro-
mote the Christmas Spectacular
at Radio City Music Hall, which
runs from Nov. 8 to Jan. 5.

got the ball was a big help. As for
