Welcome back to everyone who is attending, teaching, working, serving, transporting, feeding, supervising, or coaching (and more -ings I'm forgetting!) in area schools! Even if the feeling of fall was not already riding the edges of the wind in the morning, the yellow school buses would certainly tell me that autumn is approaching our doorstep. As always, I'm very appreciative of Trumansburg Central School District for opening up their buildings and fields for youth and adults to access physical education opportunities through our programming. Whether you have a kiddo who is looking to learn a new sport or an adult in your life would appreciate connecting with other adults in physical fitness activities, I encourage you to check out the offerings of the Trumansburg/Ulysses Recreation Program available here. Registering means you'll be among the first to learn about new programs and classes. The next regular meeting of the Ulysses Town Board will be on Tuesday, September 10th at 7pm in Town Hall. It's a busy agenda as we head into budget season, and you can keep track of this meeting and all of our upcoming Town meetings here.

TOMPKINS COUNTY WHOLE HEALTH RELEASES "COVID-19 COMMUNITY RESILIENCE MURAL" VIDEO On Thursday, August 29, 2024, to commemorate the conclusion of National Immunization Awareness Month, Tompkins County Whole Health (TCWH) hosted a gathering at the "COVID-19 Community Resilience Mural", located along the Albany St. side of the Human Services Annex building at 214 W. Martin Luther King Jr./State St., Ithaca. The event offered an opportunity for community partners to reflect on their partnership and efforts during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. A video documenting the process of the mural was launched during this event. This video, created by Shira Evergreen of Uplifted Ithaca, incorporates visuals of the mural's development along with interviews featuring staff from TCWH and Tompkins County Office for the Aging, and Ithaca Murals.
