Millerton Sewer fact finding meeting

If business people are not aware we have put together a group of business folks to study the idea of a central sewer plant in the Millerton business district- this will take time and certainly money- the group will be holding a fact finding meeting at the American Legion at 7 pm on Jan 17th, 2008. I believe the meeting will bring out many ideas and suggestions to move this idea forward-

No one can deny that Millerton and the business community is viable and developing rapidly- the future of the Village must consider the idea of sewer.

Please attend- if you have any knowledge that can be useful or have been through this in another community your experiences ( good and bad ) will be appreciated and considered.

Millerton Fire Dept Breakfast

As many of you know the Millerton Fire Dept holds a fabulous Breakfast for the benefit of the Fire Company- the breakfast is held on the first Sunday of ever month during winter months.
This is a great place to meet and greet your neighbors and assist the Fire Company in reaching their financial goals- What a wonderful way to spend your time and money-

We encourage all to attend- many are not aware of this event and would be warmly welcomed.
The event runs from 7 am to 11 am- Please attend- the cost is minimal- you will not go away hungry.

Northeast Historic Society Meeting

The Millerton Historic Society will be holding a meeting on Feb 12th at 7 pm discussing the Railroad history of the Harlem Valley Railroad line- The Railroad is the reason we have Millerton as a community-
Come one and all to support this wonderful organization- If unable to attend please consider a small donation to help the organization put together historic collections for the benefit of all.
See you at the meeting.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year as well !

Today as in all days we celebrate what one believes in and we each celebrate in our own special way-

So please take the time to enjoy life and Family the most important part of all our lives-

May your time together be shared with good health and a bit of fun- let us remember those who have come before us and what they have left for us all. Let us not forget our troops who would love to be home as well- no matter what your feelings are politically we are a great and prosperous nation of mixed nationalities and faiths, a tolerant people who believe in peace and a bright future for all. We are America as Corny as it may seem it is the best place on earth to be.

Have a wonderful Holiday season and Be Happy !!

The "Lights" before Christmas !

Join us for a grand event- The "LIGHTS" before Christmas on Saturday Nov 24, 2007 at 6 pm. The Millerton Merchants will be lighting up our Holiday tree at the corner of Rt22/44 as well as the Gazebo at "Railroad Plaza" next to the Railroad Station in Millerton.

The event is well planned and lots of fun too, kicking off the Holiday and shopping season in good old Millerton!

We wish to thank Nancy Ellis (Central Hudson regional rep as well as Member of the Millerton EMT and Fire Dept). She has spent many hours of her own time preparing the NEW electric meters at both the Gazebo as well as Rt 22/44. We thank you Nancy for all your help, care and attention to detail.

In addition we wish to thank Susan Schneider of Shandell's Lamp store on Main St- she has always had a "never say never" attitude and is a force to be recognized.

In addition we wish to thank Marti Steed for initially making the calls to finally have permanent electric meter service for all the events we will be experiencing now and in the future-

We wish also to thank John LaCurto of LaCurto Elect Amenia for providing the professional Electrical Installation abilities. (See photo above)****

We also thank Jay Scasso for having the holes for the posts to allow the installation.

A big thanks to Jeff Shelters of JJS Electric for digging trenches for the panel box installations.

Also Tom LeJeune NY State Electrical Inspector for his quick response, his time and attention to detail.

A big thanks to the Village of Millerton- John Scutieri Mayor for agreeing to have the meters paid for by the Village-

We will of course add other names as we are aware of their assistance- Our intention is to thank all who have helped and not forget anyone- If you are aware of others add them in a response to this posting.

Millerton will shine with Lights galore this season and the seasons to come- we are thankful that so many will be able to enjoy our very lovely and friendly community- You are all welcome- Please come with family and friends.

Remember to Vote----Please !!

As you know today we put our thoughts into action- Our community as in all communities needs good leadership- Millerton is growing who hasn't figured that out. Yet we must make our government accountable to our thoughts. Don't ever believe that your vote does not count- It does- many officials are put in office in this town with 1 or two extra votes. So Please excersise the most valuable right you have as an American- Vote and be heard.

Do you have a soldier's military address?

It's not too early to start thinking about the Holidays!!! We are gathering names and addresses for active duty soldiers in the hope that we will be able to organize a card, letter, goodies campaign to be sent out to them prior to the Holidays or at least by New Years Day. We would appreciate all the help you can give us. Please send your emails to millertonny@gmail.com where we will be gathering all the information for posting. Thank you for your HELP!

Send Holiday Cards or Letters to One of Our Local Heroes!
