Chatham Skateboarding Park
May 07, 2008
From Shari Franks, Town of Chatham Recreation Director
We are looking for youth and adults to be involved in coordinating a skate park at Crellin Park for our community. We will meet on Wednesday evenings starting on May 7th at the pavilion by the pond at Crellin Park. Should weather be really bad (thunder and lightening) then we will move to the Town Hall located on Rt. 295 in Chatham (near the transfer station). We really need youth of all ages to be involved in the process. They will learn how to research and develop a plan, get it approved and then work to fundraise for the project. The TOWN of Chatham Board is incredibly supportive, which is typically half of the battle in most towns who want to put in a skate park. WE HAVE THE SPACE, and WE HAVE SOME MONEY to get started with, so we are ahead of the game in this respect, all we need is YOU and your willingness to work hard for a good cause. My recreation committee and i have also met with our planning firm who will offer guidance and help us select our best options for what we want to do. But we really really need public input. Instead of worrying about the police confiscating our kids skateboards, let’s ALL of US be part of the solution and work together on a project that can benefit many age groups.
Any questions, please call me at my office at 392-0337

March 28, 2008
From Club Helsinki:
Club Helsinki is looking for your input on what people are most keen to hear, eat and do in our Great Barrington restaurant/club and our new Hudson venue, which is under construction…
It’s less than 20 questions, and gives you a chance (among other things) to propose who your “dream” Helsinki performers might be. A random winner will be selected among the respondents for two free tickets to the first show at our new Hudson venue!

Help FRC Win a $3,000 grant
March 25, 2008
You can help Family Resource Centers of Columbia County win a $3,000 grant by leaving a supportive comment here.
We are the only local program that provides free, supervised playgroups for children to age 5. These playgroups - offered at five sites around the county 5 days a week - are a big hit with the kids! But they also serve as a source of peer support and companionship for their parents and caregivers.
We believe that if we can reduce isolation, exhaustion and frustration that parents and caregivers often feel while raising young children – especially in a predominately rural community – that we can successfully prevent the incidence of child abuse and neglect.
