Westchester Pond is proud to continue it's support for the Make A Wish Foundation.

Rosary Hill, a 72-bed skilled nursing facility operated by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. The Home is dedicated to providing palliative care to persons afflicted with incurable cancer.

Rosary Hill is a free home for persons who cannot afford to pay for care. No payment of any kind is accepted from patients or their families, nor from the government.

In accordance with their Rule, the Sisters place their trust in the loving providence of God. That trust has never failed. Donations large and small, from groups and individuals, have provided the necessary funds to support the work.

The Home was established in 1901 by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. Over the past 100 plus years, the Sisters have lovingly served the special end-of-life needs of our patients and their family members.

THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

Always be yourself because the people that matter

don't mind...

and the ones that mind,

don't matter.

About Us

We are a Fraternal Organization of men and women who work in the Insurance Industry.

The Honorable Order of the Blue Goose, International was founded in 1906, in Green Lakes, Wisconsin, and is a worldwide fraternal organization of individuals who work within the insurance industry. As Ganders, we are members of Ponds located throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.

The Cardinal Elements of the Order are to build character, charity, and fellowship. In instilling these qualities in its members, the Order uses the attributes observed by the actual Blue Goose. Some of the Blue Goose guidlines are courage, wisdom, and faithfulness. There is fellowship, education, charity, and leadership in our organization.
