It’s that time of year (or is it? With the snow I am a little confused)—Litter Pluck will be starting soon. If you are interested in helping out to keep Cochecton clean, give Jerry a call at 845/932-8210 for more information. Do I have good news for you? Yes. Lake Huntington is going to have a restaurant open on a Tuesday. The grand opening of Lake View Pizzeria was on Tuesday, April 5, offering pizzas for only $10, toppings extra. The new phone number is 845/932-8131. The restaurant will be open Tuesday through Saturday and closed Sunday and Monday. Stop in and check out their menu.

Tax season is over; my books were closed out on Monday, April 4. If you have any questions you will have to call the county at 845/807-0200. You can always go to www.taxlookup.net for a receipt. Thank you to all for making it a great year: we passed last year’s percentage of the total tax dollars owed that were paid. Whoo-oo, little things make me happy.

Bored and looking for something to do? Come on out and support the Lake Huntington Presbyterian Church Saturday, April 9 at their penny social. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and calling begins at 12:30 p.m. Call 570/729-8247 or 845/932-8923 for more info.

Yummy yummy pancakes can be yours on Sunday, April 10 at the Lake Huntington Fire Company from 7 a.m. to 12 noon. The cost for adults is $7, for kids five through 11 is $5, and is free for children under 4. For more information call RuthAnne at 845/932-8514

Yadda, yadda—I know this has been in for the last few weeks, but they still need donations. The Cochecton Youth Commission will be holding a penny social on Sunday, May 15 at the Lakeview Pizzeria (formerly known as Angelina’s). Doors open at 2 p.m., calling begins at 3 p.m. The group is looking for prizes and donations (new or slightly used items only.) You can drop them off at the new town hall on May 3 from 6 to 7 p.m.

I would like to wish a very special person a happy birthday: Jamie Meyer, enjoy life and keep smiling,

Please keep Tom Bonanza and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Tom is going into New York Presbyterian hospital for open-heart surgery. A belated birthday wish to Tom on his 64th birthday on April 6. Makes me think of the Beatles song, “Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m 64.” Good luck, Tom and may God bless you.

Florence Crandall, long time worker of the Narrowsburg Ecumenical Food Pantry, passed away. See the obituary on page 8 for information about the wake and memorial mass.

Have a great week and email leeniebeans@citlink.net or call 845/252-3568 if you have news.
