Attention local seniors!

Have you, or a senior you know, ever thought about attending the Thursday Community Café Lunch at the New Paltz Community Center? 

Now would be a great time to take advantage of this wonderful service! 

With the uncertainty of federal funding, the Ulster County Office of the Aging needs more attendees, otherwise they will be compelled to move this beloved event elsewhere. Current attendees are an easy-going and welcoming bunch. Lisa, the server, is a treasure. 

Help to keep our New Paltz location! 

To pre-register for the meal, call 845-331-2180. Vegetarian options are available upon request at pre-registration.
$3 suggested donation.

Every Thursday at noon. (Community Center)

UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team Angelina Brandt (pictured left) and Eva Barnett (pictured right) held a fascinating and inspiring workshop on how to compost in your own home. They brought vermiculture and bokashi buckets to show and explained how easy the process can be if you know the basics. Even seasoned composters learned some tips.

Here Angelina is showing a bucket of active Red Wiggler worms.

Here is a video of Eva is demonstrating one way to finish a "bokashi cake."

The SOS Boot Camp is a training weekend dedicated to first time SOS athletes who are registered for the race. The weekend is designed to run through each leg of the course (with some modifications) along side local SOS veterans and top performers. Each leg will include tips and tales from Boot Camp guides and secrets on "how to" from carrying shoes or wearing socks to running or walking Cardiac Hill and Godzilla.  

An informal, catered dinner is held where participants can get to know one another off the course, mingle with their SOS Boot Camp guides, meet the SOS Triathlon founder (and hear a few tips too). A talk given by SOS veterans and open Q&A follows dinner. 

The SOS Boot Camp will introduce first time racers to the SOS Community and the goal of fostering the "spirit" of the SOS Triathlon.
