Coverage in the Nov. 26th, 2009 edition of the SACofC meeting at the Exchange Hotel, by the Saugerties Times and the Saugerties Post Star:

Artists' Mural/Paintings Unveiled at Saugerties Chamber Meeting

Featured speakers at the November 19th Saugerties Chamber meeting were artists Jean Campbell and Jacquie Roland, who spoke about their artwork (Jean's mural and paintings by Jacquie), created especially for the walls of the newly renovated Exchange's back room. Donna and Tony Buono, proud owners of the Exhange Hotel, hosted the meeting. Among other activities, the Chamber members voted to donate $1,000 to the Cahill School PTA's ongoing efforts to update the Cahill playground.

"Large Check" Hand-Off

At a Saugerties Area Chamber of Commerce members meeting, hosted in late 2009 by the Saugerties Historical Society at the Kiersted House, the Chamber donated a check for over $25,000 to the Saugerties Area Council of Churches, for their food pantry. Seen in this photo accepting and handing off the check, from left to right are: Reverend George Hart and Marilyn Richardson of the Council of Churches; and Mark Smith, Beth Murphy and Nancy Campbell, Saugerties Chamber members who made up the core of the Hors'n Around Saugerties committee. The check money came from the proceeds from the Hors'n Around Saugerties Auction in September of this year.

While this donation was very welcome, the food pantry anticipates even greater need in the coming year, and donations are always encouraged.
