Hello,

The public is invited to attend two special Town Board meetings next week. Both at the Hepburn Library Community Room at 7 PM.

Attendees will be given the opportunity to provide input regarding the Town’s application to the NYS Office for Community Renewal for a grant that could help with specific building projects and economic development strategies – such as renovating the old town hall for community and economic development purposes. http://nysdhcr.gov/Funding/NYSCDBG/2010/2010CommunityPlanningApplication.pdf

The River

When: June 19th – July 17th, 2010

Opening Reception 2-4 pm Saturday June 19th

All welcome, refreshments will be served. Admission is free.

Our upcoming exhibition will feature art by Anna Gerhard Arnold, Dorothy J. Badger, Leon W. LeBeau, Donna Kientz Matoes, Denise McMillan, Robert Ritter, and Denise Tomlins. These artists address the impact of the St. Lawrence River upon the local culture and geography. In this Northern region of New York State the St. Lawrence River divides two nations, yet unites them by facilitating trade, commerce, and communication. It provides shelter and life to hundreds of species of animal and plant life, enabling growth, yet at the same time the river has been powerfully destructive. Communities have thrived and played along its banks, and others still have been flooded and ruined by its waters.
