– Alfred Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps”. Perhaps one of the best known of Alfred Hitchock’s British films, The 39 Steps is a civilized spy yarn that follows the escapades of Richard Hannay (Robert Donat), who stumbles into a conspiracy that involves him in a hectic chase across the Scottish Moors – a chase in which he is both the pursuer and the pursued. This movie was released in 1935 and is 87 minutes in length. All tickets are $7.00 – Ramapo Senior Citizens are admitted free.

The Town of Ramapo has formally taken ownership of a 55 acre parcel in Sloatsburg known as Liberty Rock. The $2.75 million dollar purchase includes three properties: 35 Post Road and 93 and 105 Orange Turnpike (Route 17), which are off the west side of the highway opposite Seven Lakes Drive.

This Preliminary Budget is a reflection of eight years of Disciplined Fiscal Planning which has transformed a $900,000 deficit into a $5,000,000 surplus in the General Fund.
