Veteran's Day 1940's Canteen Party

to Benefit Traveling Children's Museum

Scrap Metal Drive Part of Festivities at

Glen Sanders Mansion on November 11

This Veteran's Day, November 11, the Glen Sanders Mansion will be transformed into a 1940s USO-style Canteen to benefit the Scotia-Glenville Traveling Children's Museum. World War II Canteen-style refreshments, big band music and a silent auction will be part of the evening festivities.  The event begins with roll call at 7:00 PM. Tickets are just $25.

Reservations are requested by Monday November 8 to 346-1764 or dbennett@thetravelingmuseum.org

The scrap metal drive to benefit the museum will be conducted by "Party of Gold."  G.I.'s and the guests are encouraged to bring their own gold and silver that is broken, unwanted, or out of style. Party of Gold will test and weigh the metal and issue checks to the owners on the spot. The Museum will receive 15% of the proceeds.

The Museum will also honor Christine Sell as its Teacher of the Year and Mary Ellen Graham from Zoller Elementary in Schenectady as its Classroom Teacher of the Year.

Join us this Veteran's Day for a fun and inexpensive after-dinner evening!

Collins Park, Rotary Circle Project Part 1

I heard yesterday from local film maker Dan Masucci asking if I knew what happen to all the trees in the circle next to the playground in Collins Park.  Dan wasn’t the only one worried seeing that a number of scrub trees have been cleared from what is known as Rotary Circle.

While it may not be pretty today the unhealthy trees are being removed as part of a project that will ultimately beautify this area and make it a more usable.  For a number of years the village park board has tried to put an improvement project together. This year  Scotia Rotary under the leadership of President Cindy Amell has decided to see that something can finally be done to improve this area.
