Chair Yoga - Revised Schedule

Our Chair Yoga class led by Twisted Sister Yoga has quickly become so popular that we are now offering it each and every Thursday from 3:30 to 4:15. Come in and see what the excitement is about! You’ll enjoy the stretching, relaxation, and the company. This program is for ALL ages and genders - just bring yourself in comfortable clothing and a (suggested) donation of $10.

We look forward to seeing you here at the Roxbury Library!

Final Count: 19 Pillowcases for Ryan’s Case for Smiles

Our terrific volunteer squad has completed 19 pillowcases, instead of the originally planned 10 cases! The patterns are so sweet - imagine how happy children will be to have such vibrant color in otherwise institutionally neutral hospital rooms. We thank them so very much for their dedication to this project - and it’s been way too much fun hosting them!

Again, our gratitude to Sarah Porter, Maggie Pebler, Kathy Zummo, Roxanne Lindner, and Chris Durham for their sewing talents and the inimitable in-house entertainment.

Special thanks to Lori and Katie Rosa of Bloom of Margaretville for final delivery to Albany Medical Center pediatric units, and to Becky Porter for donating additional pillowcases.
