The eighth year of Auction Night is shaping up to be the best ever! This fun-and laughter-filled event, which includes a buffet dinner, will be held at the VFW on April 22nd. A few of the special items this year are a week in an Outer Banks beach cottage; a certificate for stone wall building; an original copy of the Commemorative Biographical Record of Northeastern Pennsylvania; and a lovely antique bowl and pitcher set. There are also bed-and-breakfast stays, event tickets, antiques, art, crafts, special baskets, extraordinary desserts, and much more, including wonderful door prizes. PIC This antique pitcher is part of a set that will be auctioned on April 22nd as a fundraiser for the Library & Historical Society. It was made by the Staffordshire (England) firm Cauldon between 1905 and 1920. The doors open at 5, dinner starts at 5:30, and the auction begins at 6pm, hosted by entertaining auctioneers Dave and Josie Coddington. Tickets are $5 each or $8 for a couple, available at the door. All proceeds support the Library and Historical Society. For more information on Auction Night, call 278-1881.
EMTC Troupe Tackles Comedy - Musical Endless Mountains Theatre Company is proud to announce its locally-produced version of the smash comedy-musical revue that has run for a decade in New York! I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, written by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts, is a much-beloved sendup of romance -- from dating to in-laws -- in which a small, talented cast tackles over 60 roles. If you do the math, you'll find that this means each of the four cast members plays an average of 15 parts! It's a fast-paced revue (the song count would take up most of your fingers and toes) in which the parade of unforgettably-funny characters never lets up. You'll like some of them, you'll hate some of them (you're meant to!), but you'll laugh at them all. Pictured (l-r) is the cast of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change: Tori Arnau, Tim Hutchins, Bob DeLuca, Jessica Williams. As one might expect, a challenging production like this requires performers with a great deal of experience . . . and that's exactly what EMTC has here. It's a surefire show with a seasoned cast -- community theatre at its best! EMTC's production (directed by Bonnie Love) will take place at the Basil Leaf Restaurant in Montrose, PA on April 21-22 at 6:30 pm (dinner theatre, doors open at 6:00); and at Blue Ridge High School in New Milford (show only) on April 29 at 7:00 p.m. and April 30 at 3:00 p.m. Please note that reservations are required for the dinner-theatre performances -- call 570-434-2283 now. And if you'd like to become part of Susquehanna County's award-winning community theatre group, come to EMTC's open auditions at Blue Ridge High School: April 26 at 6:30 p.m. and April 29 at 9:30 a.m. This summer's productions will be The Sound of Music and comedy Peril on the High Seas. Join the fun!
National Community Development Week Susquehanna County Housing and Redevelopment Authority announces that April 17-23 was been designated as National Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) week. This year marks the 32nd anniversary of this very successful program. The CDBG program was enacted into law as part of the 1974 Housing Act. It is a program that provides grants to eligible jurisdictions, including cities, counties, and states (In other words, this is some of our tax dollars being returned to us.) CDBG’s main purpose is to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities to low and moderate income people. It gives local government the flexibility to address community needs. Too many citizens are unaware that they are seeing CDBG dollars at work throughout their communities every day. Susquehanna County receives approximately $300,000 each year to allocate to the various municipalities for eligible projects. The Susquehanna County Housing/Redevelopment Authority administers this program on behalf of the Susquehanna County Commissioners. Each year requests are solicited from all of the municipalities in the County and those that meet the eligibility requirements of the program are funded. The Susquehanna County Commissioners have funded various projects including storm sewer and sanitary sewer repairs, handicap accessibility renovations in our various municipal buildings, community centers, street and road repairs, sidewalks and curbs, demolition of vacant and blighted buildings, economic development activities such as microbusiness counseling programs resulting in much needed job creation and retention, public service programs, and a housing rehabilitation grant program. The housing rehabilitation program is a very popular and successful program that has assisted hundreds of Susquehanna County homeowners in making needed repairs to their homes. This program preserves the existing housing stock and assists in the revitalization of our neighborhoods. Since the beginning of the CDBG program, our communities have seen millions worth of needed renovations and improvements-all thanks to CDBG dollars. Unfortunately the Federal 2006 budget proposed the complete elimination of the CDBG program, but Congress did retain the program, with a 10% reduction from the previous year. The Susquehanna County Housing/Redevelopment Authority, on behalf of the County Commissioners would like to thank our legislators for keeping the program intact and encourage them to continue to fund this very worthwhile program.
