Community Events - All Welcome

There are a couple of great events happening in the next few days that everyone is invited to attend.

First, there is a Caroling Celebration in Phoenicia at 4:30 on December 23rd (Thursday). The flier for the event says "Join the community choir at 4:30 at the Catholic Church on Main Street, or join us on Main St". I am not sure exactly what that means but I think if you go to town and listen for the singing you will figure it out. The flier also says to bring musical instruments, warm clothes and candles. The caroling will be followed by a bon fire and free refreshments at Mama's boy.

After the caroling at 6:30 there will be Christmas Motets and Cantatas featuring the Ensemble of 8 voices "Syntagma Musicum" accompanied by Barbara Pickard at the Organ. The music is from the 16th and 17th centuries (Charentier, Schutz, Bach, Palestina). The Phoenicia Choir will also participate. I think this performance is in one of the churches but the flier isn't specific. Again, I think if you just go to Phoenicia you can figure it out from there.

The other great thing that is happening is the 2nd annual community dinner at the Sportsman's Alamo Cantina. It is from 1-4pm Christmas Day. It is a free event but donations will be accepted to benefit Helping Hands food pantry. Transportation is available. Please call 845-688-5259 for more information or to schedule transportation to the event. This is a great way to share the holiday with your community!
