Act Now On The Future of Racing in NYS!

The Concerned Citizens of Saratoga, coordinated by your Chamber, have been working to protect racing at Saratoga Race Course for over two and a half years and recently met with key members of the New York State Legislature to deliver a strong message about the need for action.

Now, The Saratoga County Chamber is asking for your help in letting our State Legislators know how important the racing industry is to Saratoga County and the surrounding nine-county region.

Fresh & Co. Offers Free Day Of Pampering For Struggling Locals

SARATOGA SPRINGS NY (March 8, 2010) – Fresh & Co. Salon and Spa in Saratoga Springs has teamed up with online community guide Saratoga.com to offer what they are calling a “Pay It Forward” Giveaway. Community members that have fallen on hard times are encouraged to enter the contest to win a complete pampering package from Fresh & Co.

A complete pampering package giveaway was what Budnik came up with as a way to “pay it forward” and help ease the worries of an individual or family in the [...]

GLENS FALLS – The stakes are high; but so is the payoff — for the whole community, not just the winning ticket holders. That’s the message members of this year’s Leadership Adirondack class are spreading as they invite local residents to participate in a community raffle to raise money for The Open Door Soup Kitchen and Day Center in Glens Falls.

With only 500 total tickets for sale at $100 each, the class hopes to raise $25,000 for The Open Door, with another $20,000 going to the grand prize ticket holder, followed by $3,000 and $2,000 to the second- and third-place winners respectively. The team is giving itself until April 15 to sell all tickets, at which point a drawing will take place at the Adirondack Sports Complex.

“I am humbled by the show of support from the community as a whole,” said Chaplain Bruce D. Hersey, director of [...]

The sun’s peeking out from behind the clouds and the air is a smidge warmer. At The Joyful Quilter, it’s time to start thinking about summer! And when we think about summer we think about having a Healthy, Joyful Heart.

The Healthy, Joyful Heart program is our way of inviting and encouraging all of us to take good care of ourselves. Maybe that means to take time out to just sit, or to sew a little more, or to take a walk, or to be sure to take those vitamins every day. Whatever we need to do to take care of ourselves, sometimes a little reward helps to get it done. So here’s the reward we’re offering this year:

When you sign up for the Healthy, Joyful Heart program between now and April 15, and pay the program fee of $55, by [...]
