Hello friends,

The Saw Mill River Coalition, in cooperation with the NYS DOT and
Westchester County Parks, will be leading efforts to remove invasive vines
along two segments of the Saw Mill River parkway/river corridor on November
5 and November 12. WE ARE SEEKING VOLUNTEERS. We need your help to spread
the word.

Please post and circulate the attached press release and flyer to all
interested parties. We are also looking for organizations, municipalities,
and businesses interested in adopting segments of the parkway for vine
removal in the future. This is an excellent opportunity for CACs, fraternal
and environmental orgs, local businesses, garden clubs, and others to help
the river habitat and get their name out in the community (adopters will get
a sign on the parkway provided by the DOT).

Leaders of groups that will participate on Nov. 5 & 12 are urged to attend
the DOT safety training course on October 27, at 10 a.m. Details will be
sent upon request.

Thanks for your support for this effort.

Best,

Carol

I just know you folks hate an invasive vine the same was I do. So - kill, kill, kill!

I’ve been pretty tied up the last couple of weeks, so please accept my apologies for not keeping up with the blog as I should (which, of course, would be easier if I had a couple of co-authors, hint hint.)

So without the proverbial further ado:

Tonight: New Members Welcome Cocktail at the Racquet Club
We’ve got several new members, some of whom I’ve met, and if you can come out tonight to say hello and get acquainted.

Sunday: Encore Performance of Innovative Stages’ Understood Betsy.
Show starts at the Club at 14:00. It’s family friendly and (although I haven’t seen it), I’m told quite good. Why else would they have an encore?

Every Sunday: After the success of the last Sunday grill-fest-o’rama, the Club wants to hold the event every week. I was there, and I can assure you, passive voice notwithstanding, that a good time was had by all. If you can volunteer time or victuals, contact our indubitable Bar Committee chairman, Robert Moment at 1 914 376 0255 or email him at rjmoment.applepromotions AT verizon DOT net.

…and, last but certainly not least, I’ve heard that the meeting held to discuss making Undercliff a one way street went well. Does anyone have any more info on this? [/troll]
