The New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) Tuesday presented Westchester County Executive George Latimer with its esteemed Public Service Award at its Legislative Conference in Albany.
The NYSAC Executive Director’s Public Service Award is presented annually to leaders who make outstanding contributions to county governments in New York State. Past recipients include Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Governor George Pataki, and Westchester County Planning Director Peter Q. Eschweiler, among others.
NYSAC Executive Director Stephen J. Acquario said, “While none of us were truly prepared for the arrival of COVID-19, County Executive Latimer didn’t have the luxury of learning from others when New Rochelle became the first hotspot in New York. His steady leadership in the face of the then unknown crisis not only saved lives in Westchester County but in counties around the state.
His example guided county leaders across the state. We’re incredibly proud to count him as one of our members and congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.”
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “I am honored and humbled to receive the Executive Director’s Public Service Award. The beginning of the COVID pandemic was a time of great tragedy and sadness, but it was also a time of unity and strength.
The people of New Rochelle, and Westchester County, worked together to beat back this deadly virus. The doctors, nurses, police, EMS and firefights guided up, tested us, vaccinated us and cared for us – I am their humble servant, and I am forever indebted to them for the work they did and continue to do. Thank you to NYSAC for this great honor.”

We have an Rosedale Residential Association family who is in need of help. Natalie Ballin is one of our neighbors and a 13 year old student at Highlands Middle School. Her health issues started in August of 2019 when she was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia which means her bone marrow stopped making blood. Natalie developed bad complications from her treatments and her kidneys were damaged beyond repair. She is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. Below is some information about donating a kidney and an abbreviated story about Natalie’s situation.
Anyone over 21 and in good health can be a donor.
Donating a kidney would require about 2 nights in a hospital.
After donating a kidney, a donor would go back to lead a normal life without restrictions.
People can go to this website to find out more about Natalie’s story, see FAQ about kidney donation, and register to start the process
The Ballin Family is thankful for any help that anyone can offer in terms of finding a donor. David Ballin (Natalie’s Father) can be reached at [email protected] if you have any questions on how you or anyone else can help.
