I still have my flip-flops and T-shirts on; loving this weather, but it would be nice to have a little snow for Christmas, like the kind that comes down and does not stick to the roads.

I had a very busy weekend. The Lake Huntington Red Hatters had their Christmas party at the Narrowsburg Inn on Sunday, December 13. Thank you to Nancy, Dee and Joey for a very nice time and yummy food. The ladies were giving me information to put into the column. God bless them.

Angelina’s is reopening on Wednesday, December 16 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. There is a new menu—come and check it out. Mountain View Day Spa will be open for the winter season; for an appointment give Nancy a call at 845/932-8322.

If you would like to send Ethel Hulse a Christmas card, her address is Roscoe Nursing Home & Rehab, 420 Rockland Rd., Roscoe, NY 12776. Bob and Pam Deman just returned from a Caribbean cruise. Bob was able to keep up and have a great time on a scooter. I was told that Charlie Berner is coming along and doing better.

The Cochecton Youth Commission (CYC) would like to give a big thank you to Angelina’s on the Hill for hosting the annual Christmas party. Over 40 children had a great time sitting on Santa’s lap, making crafts and eating pizza. A good time was had by all. Santa, you did a great job, and yes, the kids will leave you cookies and milk. They will also leave carrots and water for your reindeer.

Once again I would like to remind everyone of the upcoming opening on the Cochecton Youth Commission board for 2016. Send a letter of interest to CYC, PO Box 164, Lake Huntington, NY 12752. Meetings are on the first Tuesday of every month from 7 to 8 p.m. in the new Cochecton Town Hall located on Smales Road. You can check out our CYC bylaws on the Town of Cochecton website. Those interested are strongly encouraged to attend the upcoming meetings scheduled for January 5, 2016 and February 2, 2016. Any questions can be directed to the CYC email: Cochectonyouth@gmail.com

The Lake Huntington Fire Department Chicken BBQ will be held on New Year’s Day. Tickets cost $10 each, from 3 p.m. until sold out. Pre-paid tickets can be obtained from a fireman, or you can contact Betty at 845/932-8378 or RuthAnne 932-8514.
