Palisades Community Center News: Our restoration efforts continue...

This summer, we finished exterior painting, weather-proofed, made improvements to the bathroom, planted our front gardens, and made hundreds of little repairs. Our big project was refinishing the floors. They are gorgeous. Come take a look. We highly recommend Floor Solutions who discounted their service in support of the building. They can be reached at (845) 406-2825. Tell them the Palisades Community Center referred them!

All programming at the Palisades Community Center is managed by volunteers. Since the summer, we would like to thank Cellen Wolk and Neal Harris of HeyHoe Garden Design for planting hydrangeas and roses in our front garden and giving a hand at anything to do with gardening. We also thank Joyce Gavin, Bernie Doyle, Larry Bucciarelli, Chris Chin and the Karate members, Susan Nemesdy, and Robby Whitstock for always lending a hand. We are especially grateful to Frank Umbrino, CPA, and David Howe, Esq., for helping us with our applications for non-profit status.

Volunteers are always needed. We have projects for all. Mark your calendars!
