Rensselaer County Needs YOU!

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) for Rensselaer County is seeking new volunteers, both with and without any medical experience, to supplement the county’s health department staff in times of crisis. The MRC was instituted by the federal government’s Department of Health and Human Services following the attacks on 9/11. It is a national, county-based program for deploying volunteers to everything from weather-related catastrophes to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.

When a public health situation calls for the over 158,000 residents of Rensselaer County to be vaccinated against disease or other threats within 48 hours, the county conducts POD operations (Points of Dispensing) at several strategic locations throughout the county, administering state-provided antidotes. We still need people with backgrounds as doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, EMTs and paramedics, but we also need dentists, social workers, veterinarians, clergy, funeral home directors, law enforcement and people like YOU, who can work a laptop, phone bank, do greeting, parking and traffic control, be a runner and many other jobs. Free training in many important areas and lifesaving skills is provided.

For more information, or to register, contact MRC Coordinator, Sal Scecchitano at 518 270-2633, or email sscecchitano@nullrensco.com.

 

Looking for Some Weekend Warriors

The Sand Lake Ambulance has existed as a volunteer ambulance for nearly 60 years. We are looking for people who want to help out but may not have all the time in the world. You may be able to help out by giving us part of your weekend. We normally run 12 hour shifts on the weekends, but if we could get a couple of people who wanted to ride only a morning or an afternoon, we could pair them up to cover a shift. We would recommend for us and for the volunteer that you try to do a couple of times a month. You only need to be able to drive a box truck, lift 50+ pounds, be willing to learn the radios, lights, and protocols, and follow through on the commitment. We’ll train you. Call us at 518 674-2221.

Melrose United Methodist Blue Christmas Service

Melrose United Methodist Church will host its annual Blue Christmas Service on December 5th, 7:00 pm, at the Melrose UMC, located at the corner of route 40 and Church St. in Melrose.

The Blue Christmas Service is especially for people who are mourning, who have or are experiencing loss or for persons who have other reasons for not feeling particularly joyful at Christmas.  Christmas can be a painful time for some.

It may be the first Christmas without a loved family member who has recently died; it may be a time that has always been difficult.  At this time of the year, our spirits often sink, as the days grow shorter and the darkness grows deeper around us.

Blue Christmas is an ecumenical community service of scripture, prayer and music during advent for those who struggle, who mourn and any who find celebrating difficult.  If this Christmas season is difficult for you, come and begin your advent with worship.  Everyone, regardless of church background is welcome.

Severe blood shortage: Red Cross issues immediate call for blood and platelet donations

How to help: Eligible donors can find a blood or platelet donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Happy Birthday Vanderheyden

2018 marks the 185th Anniversary of Vanderheyden Hall, a private agency that began as an orphanage, but now serves primarily teenage children with educational or emotional problems. Currently located at the eastern edge of North Greenbush, Vanderheyden traces its founding back to the early days of Troy.

In 1833 because of the plight of orphaned and destitute children, the Troy Orphan Asylum was formed and initially housed 45 orphans. For the next thirty years, the orphanage was housed in several different locations in Troy. In 1862, after their residence was destroyed in Troy’s “Great Fire”, they moved to 294 Eighth Street and remained there for the next three decades.

As the 19th century came to a close, it became clear that a new, modern facility was required to meet the orphans’ on-going needs. In 1892, resulting from a gift of 109 acres, the cornerstone was laid for a new building on Spring Avenue. Later, additional buildings were added including a chapel, school building, infirmary and gymnasium. The first uniformed Boy Scout troop in the nation was formed at the orphanage.

In 1943, after 50 years at that location, the words “orphan” and “asylum” went out of favor and the name was changed to Vanderheyden Hall (Vanderheyden being the name of a famous early settler family in what was to become Troy).

As times changed, programs of “manual training” for boys and “domestic science” for girls were instituted.

By the 1960’s, additional changes and challenges led to the need of more land beyond the Spring Avenue Campus. In 1975, the trustees acquired 80 acres in North Greenbush where the former Pawling Sanitarium grounds and later the NYS Training School for girls had been. In the 1980’s, Vanderheyden moved its multi-service children’s center to the Wynantskill site.

Today, Vanderheyden provides a variety of housing options and a wide range of services for youth, adults, and families in the Capital Region. A safe haven is provided for youth abused or neglected or abandoned who face a range of developmental and emotional challenges.

News from Averill Park CSD

A special thanks goes out to our Transportation and Buildings and Grounds crews for continuing to make our commutes and schools safe. The early winter weather caught many of us by surprise, but our staff did an excellent job of responding to the circumstances in both instances of our 3-hour delay and school closing in just the second full week of November.

On the evening of November 17, and the afternoon of November 18, Averill Park’s Off-Broadway Players presented “Cinderella”. A round of applause goes out to all who participated in the performance, including those front and center on stage, and those who worked behind the curtain.

Thank you to all the veterans who came out to our three elementary schools and were a part of the assemblies at West Sand Lake, Poestenkill and Miller Hill/Sand Lake. It was a pleasure to host you all.

The Key Club is collecting used t-shirts that will be made into dog toys and will be donated to an animal shelter. This is just one of many ways that our students are helping in the community and we’re looking forward to seeing how those toys turn out.

As always, for the latest news from the District, please visit our website – averillpark.k12.ny.us.
