Medical Supply Lending Shed

Recently I was reminded that the town of Shandaken has a medical supply lending shed. They have all sorts of equipment (walkers, crutches, canes) that are available to town residents. The shed has quite a big selection of some things. So if you are a senior citizen or are planning some sort of surgery and need equipment I highly recommend checking out this resource.

And if you have equipment that is in good shape and you want to donate them to the town you can bring them to Joyce Grant, the Shandaken Town Clerk, during regular business hours. 

Fundraiser For The Shandaken Dog Shelter

This Saturday, October 19th - 11am - 5pm there will be a fundraiser for the Shandaken Dog Shelter at the Shandaken Town Hall - 7209 Rt 28. They are planning a bake sale, a tag sale and for a $10.00 donation you can get a 4x6 print of you and your dog (that includes the digital file). Dog warden Nancy Hudler does an excellent job with the animals. Now she needs your help to raise some funds. So stop by and buy something to support the shelter.
