Agency On Aging To Host Public Hearing The Area Agency on Aging for the counties of Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Tioga will conduct a public hearing on the agency’s Four-Year Plan on Friday, April 11, at the Emergency Management Conference Room, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose, beginning at 2:00 p.m. The purpose of the public hearing is to inform the public of the AAA’s Four-Year Plan which will be submitted to the PA Department of Aging. The Four-Year Plan will be in effect from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012. The major objective of the Four-Year Plan is to help the Area Agency on Aging produce quality planning that will enable it to meet the goals set forth in the Older Americans Act. The plan will also assist the AAA to provide comprehensive services to older residents and facilitate long-range, need-driven planning. Results of the Community Needs Assessment Surveys, program initiatives, and program focus for the next four-year planning cycle will be discussed. Questions regarding the AAA’s Four-Year Plan for 2008-12 may be directed to Marlea Hoyt at (570) 265–6121 or toll-free at 1-800-982-4346. The public is invited to attend.
Susky UMC To Host Seder Passover Dinner Sunday April 13, at 5:00 p.m., the Susquehanna United Methodist Church, will host a Seder Passover meal. This meal and evening of worship will be open to the public. There will not be a charge to attend. It promises to be a very instructional evening, and will be a chance to learn and grow in faith and worship as we learn the true meaning of Passover. This Seder Passover meal will be under the direction of Messianic Rabbi Ron Goldberg, of Binghamton, New York. Rabbi Ron is the new Director of Binghamton Rescue Mission in Binghamton. He has been working in the Triple Cities area for several years, assisting the homeless and needy. He now has the capability of housing 32 people in the Rescue Mission Shelter. There will be a love offering at this event to assist Rabbi Ron in his work.
Art Displays Fill Area Businesses A collection of little hand prints, a turtle made from a paper plate, or a colorful painting expressing spring; just some of what you may find in area businesses during April. The countywide Young Art Display is in celebration of National “Week of the Young Child,” April 13-19. More than 50 businesses from Forest City, Lenox, Great Bend, Hallstead, Montrose, New Milford and Susquehanna responded to the call from Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services) to recognize the talents of our young children by displaying their work. Various childcare, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs supplied everything from drawings to craft projects. The items reflect the role early education plays in shaping a child’s future. Research shows children who receive a quality experience before the age of five achieve greater success late in life. CARES would not have been able to coordinate this special display without the help of CARES volunteers, the Endless Mountains Businesses Association, Forest City Commercial Association, Montrose Area Chamber of Commerce and the Susquehanna Community Development Association. The effort is another way CARES promotes Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future.
Excitement Builds For Library Auction Night Auction Night is returning for the tenth year, and this 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 19.
This 1930s crazy quilt, oil painting, and bluestone plaque are just a few of the special items that will be auctioned off Saturday, April 19, at the Montrose VFW, to benefit the Library and Historical Society. A few of the special items this year are a week in an Outer Banks beach cottage; a 12-foot square bluestone patio; a beautiful antique crazy quilt; an autographed hockey stick from the Binghamton Senators; and a stone wall building class. There are also bed-and-breakfast stays, event tickets, antiques, art, crafts, special baskets, extraordinary desserts, and much more. About two dozen door prizes ensure that even if you don’t feel like bidding, you’re very likely to go home with something special! The doors open at 4 p.m., dinner starts at 4:30 p.m., and the auction begins at 6 p.m., hosted by entertaining auctioneers Dave and Josie Coddington. Tickets are available at the door, and includes appetizers, dinner, and desserts. All proceeds support the Library and Historical Society.

Clifford Society Presents Local Foods Program The Clifford Township Historical Society will hold a public meeting on Thursday, April 17 at 7 p.m. at the Mountain View Restaurant in Clifford. After a short business meeting, Lisa Schmidt and Jerome Rigot will give a presentation on the importance of supporting local agriculture. They will talk about the growing trend in the U.S. that acknowledges the importance of eating fresh, local produce for the health of the individual and for supporting the local economy. Where does your food come from? Our forefathers lived in a world of self-sufficiency, growing most of the food consumed by their families. Our world has changed, making the source of our food more important than ever. All are welcome to join for this interesting and informative presentation.
Madigan To Hold Local Outreaches State Sen. Roger A.

Young Children’s Fair At Mt. View School Youngsters, tell your parents it is time to celebrate! Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services) is teaming up with Mountain View Elementary School to host a party full of events just for you. In honor of national “Week of the Young Child,” CARES invites children ages eight or younger to take part in the “CARES Young Children’s Fair,” April 19, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. The gymnasium will be full of free games and activities designed for youngsters, as well as information and support for the adults who help in their development. Those who stop by may enjoy face painting and craft making while also signing up to win some special gifts. Parents and caregivers may also take advantage of free child identification kits by the Masons. Special events are also planned. At 1:30 p.m., join in a sing-a-long of “toddler tunes.” At 2:00 p.m., “The Dance Man” will appear, ready to read to all. At 2:30 p.m., young and old may take hold of a huge parachute and see the fun that unfolds. This celebration is possible thanks to the support of the Mountain View PTO, the Mountain View Elementary Student Council, and CARES dedicated volunteers. It is another way Susquehanna County CARES supports Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future.
