Rainy Monday Mountaindale Announcement of Clean Up/Maintenance Days

Greetings to everyone on this rainy day Monday in April. Trust everyone enjoyed their holiday(s) during this past week? Wanted to bring some important announcements and important dates to your attention.

First Up-Mountaindale Maintenance Day
Saturday April 30, 2011
2-5 PM...meet up in front of 60 Main Street.

The purpose of this event is two fold in purpose, and gives volunteers OF ALL AGES a chance to lend their hands to the task of keeping Mountaindale the beautiful little hamlet that it is. As said, the purpose of this Mountaindale Work Day is two fold.

1. We will be picking up the town (litter, branches and the like) and doing some spring maintenance work on past projects. Raking, turning the soil, trimming off die back on some of our perennials as they get ready to start their spring growth.

2. Sharing plans for this years Renaissance Project, and doing some Pre-Project clean up in the area (Entry to Rails to Trails Corridor) where this years project is to be installed.

We hope you can plan to attend this Work Day, and if you or your organization would like to schedule a Volunteer Day here in Mountaindale, please contact Barb at (845)434-4747 or Sherwood (Committee Chair of this year's Renaissance Project) at (845)693-4513.

Meeting of Mountaindale Sullivan Renaissance Project Committee-March 21, 2011...EVERYONE IS WELCOME

Sullivan Renaissance Project-Meeting on Monday March 21, 2011

First, as this year's Chairperson for the Mountaindale Economic Development Project's Sullivan Renaissance Project, want to apologize for my absence for most of this past week, but try as I might, the flu seemed intent on adding me to the list of those afflicted with its various and assorted unwanted maladies and inconveniences, thus seeing me for the most part locked within the walls of my apartment being sick, and YES GROUCHY. Good news is that I am almost fully recovered, and in the process of playing catch up.

Our design plans are almost complete for this years Sullivan Renaissance Project, and a Sunday Working session is planned to complete the application process for this years grant. The deadline for submission is March 23rd and we would like all interested parties to have a chance to see the plans, make suggestions and/or ask any last minute questions you might have as a interested party, or member of our Mountaindale Community. With that in mind, letting every one there will be an informal Mountaindale Sullivan Renaissance Committee meeting for all interested parties on this upcoming Monday Night at 7:30 at the Mountaindale Art Center here in our little hamlet. Would encourage all interested parties, as well as potential volunteers and/or donors to attend.
