Projects for all ages and abilities, volunteers needed

To the Editor:

New Scotland Town-wide Volunteer Day needs volunteers for Saturday, May 2. With over a dozen projects reaching from the village of Voorheesville to Feura Bush and places in between, we need volunteers to commit to helping make the day a success.

Homemade berry tarts sweetly seal a career of helping others

To the Editor:

The melting of snow each spring brings a sense of joy back to town, and also uncovers debris and disrepair once hidden beneath the icy blanket.  For many members of our community, especially the elderly, the required maintenance of spring-cleaning is simply unmanageable alone.

Little League wants you to umpire

To the Editor:

Love the game of baseball, summer days, hot dogs, and a cold drink?  Then do I have a deal for you. 

And if, as you're reading this, you feel like you're about to be sold something then you're right!  The BKW Little League needs your help.

To the Editor:

While grandson Michael was visiting us several weeks ago, he told me he has been asked to officiate, be the “minister,” at a friend’s wedding this fall. He’s excited at the prospect and is going to get legally licensed.

Two mastiffs missing from their Hilltown homes

To the Editor:

This breaks my heart to hear this: North Country Animal Shelter posted on Facebook to watch out for “dog nappers.” Thieves are walking and driving around, stealing our loved pets. How sick is this.

Five reasons to join the historical society

To the Editor:

With warmer weather approaching, I’d like to share with you the top five reasons to support the Knox Historical Society:

Voorheesville school nurses are supportive and caring

To the Editor:

I believe most parents don’t think too much about school nurses.  Over the years, they may get a phone call because their child has a fever, or isn’t feeling well, and need to pick up their child.

Silver project was reward-ing

To the Editor:

This past summer, I worked on my Silver project, which is the highest award a middle-school Girl Scout can receive.

For my project, I raised awareness for proper nutrition and for growing your own vegetables through sack gardens.

Deluxe Pancake Breakfast We couldn’t have done it without you

To the Editor:

On Sunday, March 22, our Girl Scout troop 1758 had a very successful Deluxe Pancake Breakfast. Our success would not have been possible without all the donations and generous helpers.

Honor Earth Day by cleaning village parks

To the Editor:

Altamont Community Tradition will sponsor its annual Green and Clean on Saturday, April 25. We invite residents to join us, starting at 9 a.m. in Orsini Park.

Would Stewart’s expansion enhance the beauty and historic features of our village?

To the Editor:

Congratulations to The Enterprise
