I would like to let parent’s know, I am now teaching children Sewing & Quilting after school. There is a $5.00 fee for material’s each lesson.  Of Course, when making quilts student’s must pay for their fabric.  I have 3 sewing machines setup waiting to sew on.

The bus drops the student’s off at my home with a parent’s note and the parent’s pick them up at 5 pm..

I like to start off by making a Cup Organizer for the tools & pot holder for their first quilting.  It is wonderful to share good things.  Dorthy Moses showed me the Cup Organizer.

From the Post Star
"Even Minerva-Newcomb, located in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, was able to host a softball game — on March 30. Mountaineers coach Bruce McGinn said that had never happened to his knowledge for a program that generally is not able to get on a field before mid-April. M-N defeated Elizabethtown-Westport 19-0 in the season-opening game."


Congratulations
Caleb Winter was named to the Post Star's MVAC/CVAC/Suburban Council/Western Athletic Conference Basketball All-Star team. Jordan Bush, Isabelle Bureau and Danielle McNally were named for the girl's team. Jordan was named the MVP of the MVAC conference.

Boos and Bravos from the Post Star
Jan 18th
Eight schools hope to share some services
Bravos to school districts in Indian Lake, Johnsburg, Long Lake, Minerva, Newcomb, North Warren, Schroon Lake and Warrensburg for agreeing to explore ways to share services and save taxpayers money. These small communities in the foothills of the Adirondacks face enormous challenges, and we believe these types of partnerships will help enormously.

From the Post Star...An old Adirondack "great camp" operated by New York state is welcoming cross-country skiers and snowshoers this winter.

Camp Santanoni in Newcomb was one of the earliest great camps built by wealthy families beginning in the late 19th century. It's now managed by state environmental officials, who are hosting three winter weekend events.

Cross-country skiers and snowshoers will have access to the historic camp properties during the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, Jan. 16-18; President's Day holiday weekend, Feb. 13-15; and the weekend of March 12-13.
