 I hope everybody enjoyed the Eclipse! Eyes on Main St. Optometry (located at 4895 State Route 52 - on Main Street in Jeffersonville) is collecting used eclipse glasses and donating them to an organization that will reuse them around the globe for future eclipse events! You can drop off your gently used eclipse glasses at their office during their normal business hours.  FMI: 845-482-2425.

The Callicoon Fire Department is hosting their Annual Car Show May 19th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Delaware Youth Center (located at 8 Creamery Rd, Callicoon). Cars, trucks and bikes are welcome. A $10 entry fee and donations are accepted, with thanks. Prizes, music, 50-50’s, raffles and food. Awards: “People’s Choice,” Top 10 and “Best of Show”. Vendors wanted -$20 per spot.

Something I read on Facebook. Please donate your unwanted clothes to nursing homes before you donate to Goodwill. (or you can split up the items between both) Some folks do not have family members who provide clothing, and they do not have the money or physical abilities to buy their own clothing. This way they do not have to wear the same things, until they are worn. 

The hummingbirds should be arriving soon! For your hummingbird feeders: 1 cup of water to ¼ cup of pure sugar and replace every other day. I do not put one up at my house anymore, last time I did a bear visited and ripped some of the siding on the side of the house….

Stop by any of the Western Sullivan Public Library Branches to get your annual seed starting kits. They will have seeds, soil, and egg cartons. Take what you need or donate seeds for their Seed Library. This is a perfect opportunity to try your hand at growing your favorite flower or vegetable! Questions? Email wsplprograms@rcls.org.

Also, they are now accepting book donations at the Jeffersonville Branch during open hours in preparation for their August Firehouse Book Sale! Please make sure your donated books are clean, readable, and in overall good condition. They  do not take dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, or magazines. If you have any specific questions, please call (845)482-4350.

Enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather – hope it is finally here. Please let me know if you have any news to share!
