The Enfield Community Council will hold its annual
meeting Feb. 7, 1994. Rosemary Pelligrino wants to wore( on
special projects this year and has chaired the nomination
committee. (We wouldn't let her 'retire' unless she found a
replacement!)
The slate to be presented is;
Fredi Shapiro -President
Dave Owens -Vice President
Marnie Kirchgessner-Treasurer
Jessica Connors -Secretary
Open meetings are being held the 2nd Monday of March,
May, July, September, October, November at the Enfield
Community Building. We are looking for parent/participant
laisons for all our programs. The officers have often taken
flack from community members over decisions made in good
faith. We want these people to take responsibility for
decisions in specific areas.
The Enfield Preschool is alive and well. Enrollment is
up but a few openings still exist. The preschool is held
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at the Enfield
Community Building. Cathy DelSignore is the director and can
be reached at 387-6756 if you have questions. Because of the
increase in enrollment we must hold fast to the requirement
that the child must be potty trained. Cathy is being able
• assisted by Laura Owens.
Follow-up: Enfield Harvest Festival 1993
Although the attendance seemed down this year. the
community council experienced another financially successful
event. The auction and festival, including the quilt raffle
netted over $2.500 to benefit the Enfield Community Council
Programs. We will be setting a date for this years event and
we are currently looking for a coordinator to begin the
planning process.
We will be utilizing the same policy on solicited
merchandise as last year. We thank all the wonderful
volunteers who helped in so many ways.

• We are offering two programs for your child(ren) to participate in.
The first is Karate with Shihan Olen Lane to be held WEDNESDAYS
from the end of school until 3:15 in the gym. The cost is $25 for
a six -week session, payable in advance. It will be held January 12,
19, 26, February 2, 9, and 16. We hope to continue to offer six -
week sessions through the end of the school year.
The second program is Basketball with the Ithaca Youth Bureau to be
held THURSDAYS from the end of school until 4:00 in the gym. There
is no charge for this eight -week session. This program will be held
January 13, 20, 27, February 3, 10, 17, March 3 and 10.
You must pre -register your child for these programs by sending the
form below into the school (with payment for Karate). Your child
should report to the hallway outside the gym on Wednesday and/or
Thursday. You, or a designated adult, must pickup the child at the
end of the program. You have the option of sending your child to
the Afterschool program for a cost of $7 per day. This program runs
until 5:30 and you must register with Linda Hubbell, the Director
when you pickup your child the first day. There is a $25 annual
registration fee for this program, pro -rated monthly (meaning the
registration fee will be $15 if you begin in January).
it would be a good idea to send in a note with your child on the

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF ENFIELD CENTER
174 Enfield Main Rd.
Rev. Mike Krembs
• Worship 11:00 a.m. Sunday
Church School 10:00 a.m. Sunday
Praise Service 6:30 p.m. Sunday evenings - 1st and 3rd week
Bible Study 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays led by Matthew Steel
Choir Practice 6:30 p.m. Thursdays
The Enfield Baptist and Methodists joined together in song
for the Christmas celebrations. The joined choir sang at two
candlelight services, one held at the Methodist Church on the
evening of December 20th, and the other service Christmas Eve night
at the Baptist Church with 100-150 in attendance at each of the
services. The combined choir sang at Tompkins Community Hospital
in an effort to share the joy of the season and make the holidays
a little brighter for some.
Sisters In The Son is a singing trio composed of three young
adults, two from the Baptist Church and one from the Agape Church.
They have recently formed and work hard at presenting their witness
during various area church services in song and concert. They are
an inspiration to youth in our area teaching that fun can be had
through worship and fellowship and music.
The youth group is very active. Call 273-8268 and ask for
Jessica to find out more about meetings. Before Christmas many had
fun at a semi -formal dance and something is happening most every
week. A fun, safe time for the youth of our community.
Plans atbeing made for Vacation Bible School 1994.
Four young adults spent a few days in New York City, trying
to minister to the homeless. They handed out blankets and toiletries
• to the homeless and learned who these people were. After their
experience they learned ::hat poverty really looked and felt like
and recognized that it could happen to anyone.
Please join us in worship.
The Baptist Church also has a bunch of singles who are in the
midst of organizing a monthly or bi-weekly fellowship. If you
are out of high school and are intrested in being part of a
group for support, friendship, fellowship and fun contact
Bobbie Jo Dekay at 277-4705.

The Town Board is very proud to be Dresenting Certificates of

to help out in Enfield. The volunteer effort allows all of us
to live in a safer, healthier community.
People served in many ways including working with youth, food
distribution, fire protection, rescue emergency calls, serving
on a Town committee or board, and much more. I'm sure we missed
some of the individuals we want to honor so I offer our thanks
to you for making Enfield a better place to live.
It was great news to hear that Enfield has been awarded $400,000.
through HUD for housing improvements within the Town. The money
is a direct grant to the low income homeowner for such things as
roof repair, water and septic problems and other basic structural
needs. Those who have previously applied are being considered
first for the grant money and will be contacted by Better Housing
of Tompkins County. The homeowner will be responsible for collecting
the required documentation to receive grant money.
If you want to apply, please call Better Housing at 273-2187 to
receive an application. For information call Better Housing or
myself at 272-6490 Tues. and Weds. at the Town Hall.

ENFIELD VALLEY GRANGE #295
All members
by the passing of
• his wife BEVERLY
very activein all
over the years.
of the Enfield Valley Grange were deeply saddened
two of our long time members, T. ROGER BROWN and
BROWN. Besides being long time members, they were
Grange doing's and held many offices in the Grange
They will be sorely missed.
Dbring the past year the Grange had three (3) very successful
Fund raising events, the Spring Festival, the Ice Cream concession
at the Fireman's Car Show, and the Election nite supper. The funds
raised went into our Building Maintenance Fund. Many thanks to all
who supported us at these events. As of now we plan on having the
same Fund Raisers in 1994. They are still in the planning stage 8nd
the dates have not been set yet.
In the past year we have gained five (5) new members due to the
efforts of ANA KASTENHUBER. Many thanks ANA. We are still looking
for more members. We are fighting for survival, you may not no it
but the Enfield Valley Grange #295 is only one (1) out of three(3)
left in exitence in Tomkins County. If we do not keep gaining new
members we face the danger of non-exitence in a few years. We do
not want that to happen, as the Grange is an important part of the
community.
The GRANGE has programs for everyone, in all age groups, from
the youngsters to the Senior Citizens. If interested we meet on
the second(2) Tuesday of each month at 8:00 PM. or contact the
following officers: Roger Hubbell at 273-6999, Ana Kastenhuber
at 277-0489, Harold & Florence at 273-7453, Robert & Lea Carpenter

• MY LOVE TO LENFSE LLi
BY Beverly Brrown
During my last days of this 7993 Christmas Season, I have
felt God with me always. My son Bret said an amazing thing
to me when he telephoned me at the hospital from Virginia.
He said, "I can feel God's presence there in your room
right now." And it was truey He was therel
Friends in my church have meant so much to me. Their
visits to the hospital have been a big support. I'm
really enthused about the T. Roger Brown Fellowship Hall
which will provide more space on the back of the church.
The need for meeting space is something Roger and I
have discussed often.
I had such a good time at the Christmas Bazaar which was
held to raise funds for the Fellowship Hall. I visited
with Enfielders and former Enfielders (once an Enfielder
always an Enfielder) while Bridgette shopped around the
Grange and Community Buildings.
Roger was always so much better than I am at telling
stories and expressing feelings. I wish I had his way
with words. Although I am really not ready to leave my
family, my church and friends, I know I will be happy with
the Lord, with Roger, Dad and others who have gone before.
. I've tried to enjoy every day with my little grandaughter
Kelsey while I lived with Bridgette and Gordie in Hammonds -
port these last few months. They have spoiled me and I
have loved it. They planned a beautiful'Celebration of
Life" for me on my birthday in October. It was such a
wonderful day with so many good friends and family.
Since I've been in the hospital, Bridgette, my sisters and
other kind people have taken turns staying with me at
night so I've never had to be without a loved one during
the long dark hours.
I can never thank people enough for their cards, visits
and flowers. My hospital room has always had a fresh
supply of plants and flowers from my mother, friends and
relatives. You have all made this a truly blessed
Christmas for me.
