Friday Update

I hope you are all staying home and keeping healthy. As of this writing there are 880 cases of CO-VID 19 and 16 fatalities in Ulster County. The Town of Shandaken has 6 confirmed cases.

Starting today 4/17/20, the NY Governor's executive order requires all citizens to wear face masks, cloth, scarf or bandana to cover their nose and mouth when in public and not able to keep a six foot distance from others. If you need a mask they are available at the Shandaken Town Hall for free. Just call the Town Clerk for information 845-688-5004.

Free mental health services are available through the Family of Woodstock 845-679-2485.

The Town is providing meal and/or grocery deliveries to those in the high risk demographic. For more information call the Town Clerk at 845-688-5004 or email townclerk@shandaken.us or the Town Supervisor at 845-688-7165 or email supervisor@shandaken.us.

Most restaurants in the area are offering take-out service and Phoenicia Supermarket is offering free delivery 845-688-2448.

And for those who are fine with food but just bored out of your mind, the Methodist Church has donated puzzles and books for people to take for free. They are on the porch of the Nest Egg. Take one if you want or leave one if you have something you are finished using.

Stay Safe!!
