YOUTH AND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF SPENCER-VAN ETTEN SPENCER PICNIC 2010 BASKET RAFFLE WINNERS
The Youth and Community Foundation of Spencer-Van Etten would like to thank all the people that stopped at our Basket Raffle Booth to purchase raffle tickets during Spencer Picnic 2010. Your support made this year’s raffle the BEST on record! This will definitely allow us to continue offering mini-grants and help SIRS support all its programs for our senior community members.
The Van Etten Community United Methodist Church (VECUMC) has been the center of activity over the years. The Clothing Closet has helped many in need find clothes for their families. Area seniors have enjoyed meals and recreation there. Bone-builders have been meeting there for exercise classes for the last few years and our "Last Saturday of the Month" Breakfasts became an event that most looked forward to not only for the food but for the fellowship. A vacation bible school was held for many years and the residents of Spencer and Van Etten have been to a wedding or a funeral service there. All of this shows just how much a part of the community this church has been.
Taste of Tioga is the premiere buy-local culinary festival and fundraiser from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County. Join us September 17, 5:30-8:00 at the Owego Treadway for a showcase of the high quality foods grown and prepared right in your own backyard. Sample gourmet style dishes including soups, salads, main courses and desserts. Over 10 local restaurants provide a tantalizing selection of foods; try them all for just $30 dollars per person. Shake hands with your local farmer and get to know the people who grow the great food you’re enjoying. New for 2010!
