Friends: This is a great event to attend, and volunteer docents are also needed! The Wallkill Valley Land Trust's 6th Annual House Tour in Lloyd takes place on June 6. They need volunteers to serve as docents in the various houses on the tour. Docents are assigned to a room or area of a house and act as guides while also protecting the property. There are two shifts, AM and PM. All volunteers receive a free ticket to take the tour after or before their respective shift. Contact Jose Moreno-Lacalle, WVLT Docents Coordinator, at 845-255-6133.

Please note: there has been so much interest in our meeting with the mayor planned for Thursday, May 19 (6:30 pm) that we are moving to the larger space of the Common Council Chambers on the 2nd floor of City Hall. See you there!
