Should you have questions about donations or about the book sale, please call (914) 761-4443 or email Elly1@aol.com. The Greenburgh Police Dept and CERT are sponsoring a blood drive, with the Greenburgh Library on July 30th from 10 AM to 5 PM. This is being coordinated with the Red Cross (kaneth@usa.redcross.org). WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS IDEA---A TOWN WIDE FLEA MARKET SALE? A suggestion was made by Winsome Gordon of our philanthropy dept and Alan Hochberg to organize a town wide flea market at Town Hall or at another municipal building in October. The town would charge vendors a fee to set up a table so they could sell their items. Other communities in the region have successful flea markets. The purpose: To raise private dollars to enable us to fund worthy projects within the town. Another benefit: a sense of small town community. The idea is a follow up –after our very successful barbeque honoring veterans of Greenburgh. If you have any thoughts or would like to participate in a committee that will plan the event, please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com PAUL FEINER
