Fall Road Cleanup: A Beautiful Day!
After two postponements because of forecasts of rainy weather, we finally met for our Adopt-A-Highway program road cleanup on Sunday morning, November 9. More than two dozen Taghkanic Neighbors volunteers turned out to pick up litter on a two-mile stretch of State Route 82 between Lake Taghkanic State Park and the business area of West Taghkanic.
We picked up 20+ large bags of trash plus tires and other litter along the roadside in both directions. We all had a great time and look forward to the spring cleanup!
We will be rescheduling the canceled after-cleanup potluck lunch as a potluck dinner in early December. Stay tuned.
MeetingWatch: Citizen Reporting Now Online
The public meetings in our town take up many hours each month, and to stay current with all of the issues takes a lot of time and effort, often more than any one individual can schedule.
MeetingWatch — along with summarized coverage in TownWatch, our printed newsletter — offers the combined reporting of volunteers who attend public meetings and record both highlights and in-depth details of the issues brought before the Town Council and other boards.The reporting is listed by date, and you can “filter” the reporting based on topics listed on the same page.
Take a look, and let us know what you think, as we continue to add reporting to this area of our site.
Our thanks to all town citizens who are making this important new section of our site possible.
2008 Bar-B-Q and Gift Basket Extravaganza: Thank You!
We’ve been hearing that this year’s Bar-B-Q and Gift Basket Extravaganza was “really fun,” “great food,” and “a wonderful event.”
People left with smiles and laughter as they ventured out into the pouring rain. As events go, we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, in spite of the soggy day.
Thanks to all who helped make this event possible — including the 24 Taghkanic residents who so kindly donated gift baskets (shown here) — and our thanks to all who attended.
