"Ruff, ruff, bow wow!"

Thanks to conservative school board leadership and "Watch Puppy " stewardship of George Heidcamp, Saugerties tax payers will have to endure yet another possible tax raise. What do Saugertisians expect when they elect civil servants and government workers, to oversee civil servants and government workers?

Warwick Operation Cleanup thanks sponsors and volunteers

The Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce Operation Clean Sweep was a success, thanks to the many who helped out the weekend of April 18-20.  The Chamber would like to thank the official sponsors of the event, Shoprite, St. Anthony Community Hospital, the Tuscan Café, and the Carriage Path Cafe.  Shoprite provided garbage bags, as well as juice and baked goods to be enjoyed by the volunteers who came to the Chamber Office on Saturday morning from 8-12 to register their roads and pick up bags and refreshments.  St. Anthony Community Hospital provided latex gloves.  The Tuscan Café provided hot coffee, and the Carriage Path Café provided delicious homemade cookies. 

Thanks also go to the Town and Village of Warwick for their cooperation, especially the Department of Public Works for picking up and disposing of the garbage collected.  In addition, the Greenwood Lake DPW contributed their time to the event by picking up in the Village of Greenwood Lake.

Most importantly, the Chamber thanks the many volunteers who picked up garbage throughout the Town of Warwick.  These citizens gave their time and energy to help keep Warwick beautiful.  Let’s all make an effort to keep it that way!  If everyone tries to maintain the front of their property along the road, it will bring us that much closer to a litter-free Town.

With gratitude,

  • Operation Clean Sweep Committee Chair Lisa Montanaro of LM Organizing Solutions, LLC
  • Executive Director of the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce Michael Johndrow
