Taste of Tri-Lakes, still something we would like to host, too late for a fall event this year but maybe in spring of 2027. It would be great to use this as a fundraiser effort for something within the local community e.i. Chestertown Fire Department AED donations to local businesses, Backpack program for kids.
Thank you letter from North Warren Central School for $500 scholarship donation from the Tri-Lakes Community Alliance to William Lindsley.
