REMINDER: only trees and branches can be dumped at the
burn pile. Someone left an old computer desk, cement, and other
things there over the weekend. If we get inspected by the State
and those items are there, they will shut down our burn pile
and this great benefit to our residents will be lost.

Thanks to the Unadilla Fun Run organizers for their generous
donation to the Unadilla Community Foundation.

The park shelter is progressing nicely; with an "outdoor" kitchen,
it will be a wonderful addition to our park.
