On April 18^th, the Friends of the Plattekill Public Library conducted their second annual “New to You” Kids and Community Sale at Classic Storage in Modena. The sale was a great success on many levels thanks to so many in the Plattekill Community. This sale would not have been possible without the sponsorship by Sandra Schuyler and her family, owners of Classic Storage. Not only did she provide the place, storage for donations, and hours of coordination and help, but she also enlisted the help of her family and friends to make the sale possible. Her generosity and her commitment to the Plattekill community are exceptional..

The Friends would also like to publicly thank all of those who attended the sale, as well as the many volunteers and additional sponsors, including the following: Don Dubois of Sign Designs, Jimmy Hoppenstedt of Plattekill Corners Grocery Store, Jeff Sebesta of J & A Flooring, Bob Earl of Enviro Clean, Lisa DeGroot of Kiddly Winks in Wallkill, The Rotary Club of Southern Ulster, Christine and Lenny Adams of Perfect Combination Painting, Rosalie Hasbrouck of Allied Locksmith, Heidi Diponio of Tuthilltown Tots (Gardiner), Tina Dirago of T & T Auto Sales, Debra Goldberg as Cupcake the Clown, Heather Mangione, LaRae Fasano, Kate Ramauro, and Glenn  Geher as our face painters, Elizabeth Werlau, Tina Tenyk, Barbara Dawes and Wayne Harris from the Town of Plattekill, Lisa Frank from the Southern Ulster Times, and Rob Betanzos of the Plattekill Fire Department. Countless hours were spent sorting and organizing donations, setting up and running the sale and the following provided hours of help: Lynne and Jonathan Ridgeway, Christine Adams, Carol and Brian VanDuser, Marion Borchert, Cindy Zajac, Kristen Doyle, Valerie Smith, Karen Adamson, Maureen Kadaar, Emilie Rappleyea, Nancy Gilman, Amanda Maynard, and the wonderful staff of the Plattekill Public Library.

We plan to conduct this sale on an annual basis, so if you missed the sale, mark your calendar for the third weekend in April next year! The proceeds from the sale stay in the Plattekill Community by supporting Plattekill Public Library programs and events. Sixteen free shopping passes were also given to families in need in Plattekill. Unsold items were donated to the Skipper Initiative to help stop shaken baby syndrome, to the Plattekill Head Start and the Plattekill Elementary School Nurse’s office, and to the Salvation Army. Thank you Plattekill for being a part of this great community event!
