Tuesday add-ons




Section III Boys Class D Champion



First things First: Yes - it is confirmed! The Women's Club Bake Sale WILL take place this coming Saturday morning - starting at 9:00 - at Foodking.

Here's Something NEW! The Chenango Water Exercise Group (CWEG), a not-for-profit exercise program which offers several types of aquatic exercise at Colgate University's Lineberry Pool, is instituting a new progeam.

Called "Try Us Out," this program allows participants to experience an exercise class for a six-month introductory period. Previously, all memebers were required to sign up and pay dues for an entire year.

"Try Us ut" is avalable to new members of CWEG at a cost of $95.00 for six months. Regular memberships are $185.00 per year. An additional evaluation fee pf $30.00 and a physician's permission form are necessary as well as an appointment with our professional evaluator. Regular membership will be required should the participant plan to continue in the program after the six-month trial period has elapsed.

Among classes offered are deep and shallow water aerobics, deep water walking, mobility and back exercse as well as the opportunity to exercise at your own pace on your own.

CWEG meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 A.M. until 11:45 A.M. in Linebuerry Pool on the Colgate Campus. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call our administrator, April Cady, at 315/228-7621. Try us Out!

The Book Club is currently reading "Saturday," by Ian McEwan who was born in England in 1948 and has been winning awards for literary acheivement since 1976.

Reports are all in the superlative: the Veteran's Day Dinner at the American Legion was so good that it was (according to one person) "criminal!" (Meaning that non-vets, who paid for their Prime Rib, were only charged $5.00 for a most-excellent meal and extraordinarily pleasant evening!)

When I was at the Legion, last Saturday, Barb Kelly and Cathy Maggio gave me a copy of the Post's slick new NEWSLETTER! It covers activities sponsored by various groups that are associated with the Legion - including the Legion Riders and the Ladies Auxiliary. This item caught me eye: it's something that ALL of us can participate in!
(People in this community are always generous when it comes to "benefits" or requests for donations. I don't think that this will be an exception!)
"The Ladies Auxiliary is now Accepting Donations for our Men and Women Serving Overseas. We are accepting such items as phone cards, hand sanitizer, lotions, disposable razors, stationery, bug spray, tissues, packages of crackers and snacks, suntan lotion, baby powder, etc.

You can bring the items up to the Legion and drop them off in the box provided. Please leave Phone Cards with the Bartender. The deadline is December 1st." (Legion hours are from noon on, every day.)

Marge Brackett has a new knee (replacement) and is recovering nicely!

"Perk" Stalter is now in her pretty new house on Route 12, just south of the former Stalter Homestead, and June Stetson is enjoying her new home, on Frog Park Road.

It's definitely a "gray" day - drippy and dour.
But up on Main Street, Morgan's whirlygigs are bright............

..the side porch at Mac's Diner has been decorated for Christmas
and garlands are in place at the Fire House!

The village looks Cheery, in spite of the weather!
