Join us for a 1st-Time Home Buyer Seminar at our LaGrange Office 7PM Tonight!

Are you a first-time home buyer?   Confused by the tax credit and wonder if maybe you can buy a home and get $8000 back?   Just don’t know where to start?

Why not start by dropping by our office tonight for a cup of coffee and to sit down and take a few minutes to listen to Alice Tenuto of Rhinebeck Savings Bank and learn a little about how you might be able to use the First-Time Home-buyer tax credit.  Time is running out to take advantage of the tax credit and in certain instances it can be used for the down payment of closing costs.

It’s free.  It may help bring you closer to being a homeowner.

For more information call 454-7800.

Stop by tonight, January 27th at 7pm.

Pawling Tree Lighting

It is time to deck the halls and Pawling will kick it all off this Friday, December 4th at 6PM.   The annual Tree Lighting will take place at the Chamber building on Charles Coleman Boulevard when Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive with their “elves” on a horse -drawn wagon.  Bring the kids and remember to shop local.

Live in a different part of Dutchess County?  There is certainly a holiday celebration going on in your neck of the woods.  Just check out    http://www.dutchesstourism.com/spotlight-Holiday%20Lighting%20Ceremonies%202009.asp

Pawling’s Annual Garage Sale 9/12 9am-4pm By Margaret Generoso

The Pawling Chamber will be hosting its Annual Garage Sale on September 12th in the Village and Town of Pawling from 9-4, with a rain date set for September 13th.  This year R. Ferris Real Estate is sponsoring the LEAF organization with a spot in the Village of Pawling in front of our office at 11 East Main Street.

Local Education Advancement Foundation, LEAF, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit founded in 1999 by community members to raise funds for the Pawling Central School District.  Through fundraising events, corporate support, private grants and donations LEAF generates resources to enhance and expand academic and extra-curricular activities. 

LEAF supports 2 major programs: the after-school hours at Pawling High School Library and the Mini-Grant Program.

High School Library:  Funding after-school hours three days a week for students staying late to do research and work.

Mini-Grant Program: Providing small grants to encourage innovative, collaborative and creative classroom projects that support high learning standards and creativity in the learning process.

A major part of LEAF’s funding comes through contributions from the community during our two annual appeals and through major events such as participation in the Annual Garage Sale.

LEAF is volunteer led and staffed.  There is no overhead or administrative costs.  If you would like to be a part of the good work we do our meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the District offices, 515 Route 22, Pawling, New York.

 Please stop by the LEAF table at the Annual Garage Sale, make a purchase or a donation.  As a non-profit, 510(c)3 all donations are tax-deductible.  Donations to LEAF directly support programming.

We look forward to seeing you all!
