UPDATE FROM THE TOWN'S YOUTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT: From Program Leader, Zak Kozlowski - As the school year has been winding down, our middle grade youth programs had their humble beginnings. In small groups, we prepared snacks including garlic mustard pesto and guacamole, and baked muffins and brownies! We played board games, explored our creeks, and hung out with friends. Now we are asking young people in the Tburg and Ulysses area: "What would be fun in the future?" If you know a middle schooler willing to share their input, please refer them to this survey. Please it check out and share the link! https://forms.office.com/r/6nxROHLgzd And special thanks to the Church of the Epiphany for access to and use of their kitchen and spaces this Spring.
