Book Sale at Landis Oct 9th

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is stuffed with a trove of great reads - everything from books on gardening and nature topics to novels and biographies. We're lucky that our community thinks of us when it's time to thin their bookshelves, and that they are discerning readers who take good care of their books. The result is a wonderful selection.

We've often been asked about opening the Book Room when we are not having a plant sale, so we've gathered some of our intrepid volunteers who will open the door for the last time this year on October 9. Sales are by donation, with cash or checks accepted.

We hope to see you there, finding that next great book (or books ...)

MVP Health Care Announces $750,000 in Grants to Build Outdoor Fitness Courts in Partnership with National Fitness Campaign

MVP Health Care (MVP) and the National Fitness Campaign (NFC) today announced the launch of a statewide partnership to build ten to fifteen, state-of-the-art outdoor Fitness Courts across communities in New York and Vermont. The MVP Health Care Fitness Courts will be built in easily accessible public spaces beginning in 2022. 

 

The fitness court is a free, outdoor 7-minute full-body workout system, for adults of all ages and fitness levels. A part of an effort launched by NFC to activate public spaces, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and create equitable access to outdoor exercise programs, the fitness court will be a pillar of exercise throughout both states and builds on the success of MVP’s initial Fitness Court, which launched in the City of Rochester in 2019. 

 

“The launch of the MVP Health Care Fitness Courts is a monumental step towards providing access to resources that can forever change the trajectory of someone’s health and wellness journey,” said MVP Health Care’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Del Vecchio. “As a leading health care services company serving the Northeast, investing in our local communities and offering new, innovative, and exciting options like the Fitness Court, reinforces our commitment to giving back to the people and places we call home. We are proud to partner with NFC to bring this unique opportunity to New York and Vermont and look forward to seeing you on the Fitness Courts.” 

 

MVP and NFC are asking local governments or universities who are interested in having a Fitness Court in their city or on their campus, to apply for funding to support building a fitness court in their community. Awardees will receive a wellness toolkit, education, design resources to assist in planning, funding, building, and launching their outdoor Fitness Court from MVP and NFC.  

 

Members of the community will also have access to digital coaching on the free Fitness Court app, which acts as a how-to guide and a “personal coach in your pocket”. This self-guided mobile support makes it easy for users to learn how to stay fit in just 7 minutes a day—moving at their own pace and level of ability. Content is available for both individuals and groups to use on the Fitness Court. 

 

“The National Fitness Campaign is proud to welcome MVP Health Care as its state sponsor in New York and Vermont,” said Mitch Menaged, Founder of the NFC. “This program will deliver tremendous resources to contribute to the important mission of fighting obesity and improving health outcomes as the network of Fitness Courts grows across the state. We look forward to working with MVP Health Care to make this campaign a great success.” 

 

MVP and NFC will begin accepting applications today through November 15, 2021, for grant funding to support building Fitness Courts in local communities. To learn more about National Fitness Campaign and how to apply for funding, New York applicants can visit, www.nationalfitnesscampaign.com/NewYork or and Vermont applicants can visit, www.nationalfitnesscampaign.com/Vermont.

ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION INVITES COLUMBIA GREENE RESIDENTS TO JOIN 2021 WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S ON OCTOBER 16

Walk to End Alzheimer’s is World’s Largest Event Dedicated to Alzheimer’s Care, Support and Research

 

Columbia-Greene, New York, August 23, 2021 – The Alzheimer’s Association, Northeastern New York chapter is hosting its 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Columbia Greene on Saturday, Oct. 16 at Columbia-Greene Community College. Participants may check in beginning at 9 a.m. with an opening ceremony at 10 a.m. The walk starts at 10:30 a.m.

 

On Walk Day, participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with a poignant Promise Garden Ceremony – a mission-focused experience that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease. The colors of the Promise Garden flowers represent people’s connection to Alzheimer’s – their personal reasons to end the disease.

 

“We are so excited to be back in person this fall, so we can bring together the individuals, families and companies who make Walk to End Alzheimer’s possible,” said Alzheimer’s Association, Northeastern New York Walk Manager Joseph Heaney. “Our committee and staff are working hard to create an experience that is meaningful, inspiring and safe for all individuals to participate.” 

 

More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, including 410,000 New Yorkers. It’s not only a leading cause of death in the U.S., more than 11 million family members and friends provide care to people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

 

Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. The goal for this year’s Columbia Greene walk is to raise $27,000.

 

Plans are currently moving forward to host the Columbia Greene walk in person. The health and safety of participants, staff and volunteers remain the top priorities as decisions are made about event details. The Columbia Greene Walk will implement safety protocols including physical distancing, masks (where required), contactless registration, hand sanitizing stations and more. Options will be offered to participate online and in local neighborhoods.

Local Students from Delaware Academy and South Kortright Central School Districts Awarded Delhi Telephone Company Scholarships

Lindsey Wright of Delaware Academy and Jillian Hungerford of South Kortright Central school districts were presented with scholarships from Delhi Telephone Company for the upcoming school year. Both Lindsey and Jillian are continuing their education this fall; Lindsey of Delaware Academy will be attending Muskingum University, Ohio and Jillian Hungerford of South Kortright Central will be attending SUNY Cobleskill. 

The applicants underwent a selection process by submitting a short essay or creating a video that describes how DTC’s technology helped them during the COVID-19 pandemic. This scholarship was established to recognize a graduating senior who is continuing his/her education and who demonstrates pride in their community. 

DTC awards scholarships to neighboring school districts each year. The funds are raised at our annual Open House event held in August of each year. The event features a basket raffle to raise the majority of the funds, with items donated by local businesses as well as DTC’s vendors and network affiliates. Although 2021 has had its challenges, DTC was still able to award scholarships to these deserving students. DTC will continue to extend the scholarship program to other school districts as they continue to expand their service area.

Director of Accessibility Services Joins National Panel on Disability

In the world of Accessibility, C-GCC’s own Director of Accessibility Services Catherine Carlson of Palenville,, is a guiding star.

Carlson, also past president of the New York State Disability Services Council, served as a speaker this month for the Lifting the Hood on Disability Services—Time for a Tune Up! Higher Ed Equity Session, lead by GlobalMindED — a non-profit organization that aims to close the equity gap by creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline.

Part of a larger, virtual series titled Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable moderated by Ryan Ross, Ph.D., associate vice chancellor Student Affairs, Equity, and Inclusion for the Colorado Community College System, Lifting the Hood focused on the lessons of the past and present in Accessibility Services, and how to best apply those lessons for the future.

“Accessibility Services started as a Civil Rights movement, and while we have made great progress, we still have work to do and will always have work to do,” said Carlson, adding that currently, she sees the most important role of Accessibility Services professionals as meeting all students “where they are.”

“Student success is what we should be focusing on, and when we do that, accessibility can’t be missed — it’s something all students need to succeed,” she said.

The sessions also included Lesley Owens-Pelton, director of the Office of Disability Services at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Penn., and Emily Perry, access and equity services professional with Colorado Community College Online.

GlobalMindED closes the equity gap by creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline through connections to role models, mentors, internships for least-resourced students, returning adults, First Gen-to-College, and inclusive leaders who teach them, work with them and hire them.
