In March, we spruced up our bathroom, which was in dire need of improvement! Kudos to Susan Nemesdy for taking on this project for us. We also thank Larry Bucciarelli for maintaining our driveway this winter and repairing it this spring. We have much to do inside the building and appreciate any volunteer or financial donations.

Palisades Farmers’ Market
Every Saturday – 9:00am-1:00pm Palisades Community Center The Farmers’ Market has been such a success with the vendors and customers that we are extending thru June. Spring is exciting because of all the tender new greens that are ready for harvesting. We will also be scheduling additional events to run simultaneously with the market:

June 13- Flea market at the Farmers’ Market In May, we welcome Blooming Hill Organic farm. They will bring their beautiful organic heirloom greens and vegetables to us from their farm in Blooming Grove. Root vegetables, greenhouse greens, chicken and meat products, eggs, apples, cider, cheese, jams, not to mention pastries, baked goods, breads, pickles, and soups. Free Trade coffee is available to purchase by the bag or sit and enjoy a cup (in a Jane Herold mug) and pastry with your friends. Watch for our spring bulb sale in May. All proceeds will go to our Restoration Campaign.

Special thanks to Lewis Hahn for designing our flyers and postcards and Marika Hahn for lending us her delicious artwork. Many thanks to Joyce Gavin and Bernie Doyle for volunteering to help us clean up after the market each Saturday. Be a part of the Farmers’ Market! Teen and adult volunteers are needed to help us clean-up from 1:00-2:00pm. Also, teen volunteers to help the farmers load in at 7:30-8:30am or load out 1:00- 2:00pm. E-mail us at PCC@palisadesny.com.

Solar Feedback signs on Oak Tree Road
Over the year, improvements have been made to “calm traffic” on Oak Tree Road. The blinking light was re-installed at Closter Road, pedestrian walkways were painted, a stand-up sign was put in front of the post office, and we have traffic police sporadically monitoring traffic. The latest installation was two solar feedback signs that display speed over 25 m.p.h. near RT 9W and the other near Swan Street. The speed limit on Oak Tree Road is 30 m.p.h. and 15 m.p.h. in front of the Keller school. We thank Superintendent of Highways Jim Dean, Police Chief McNulty and Councilmember Nancy Low-Hogan, Traffic Advisory Guy DeVincenzo for their efforts to effect these changes. The next thing we are anxious for is the installation of a sidewalk on Oak Tree Road west of RT 9W.
