In conjunction with Recruit NY, the Oriskany Falls Volunteer Fire Department is seeking new members to become trained as active firefighters, Fire Police, or support personnel. We are especially in need of persons interested in becoming or who are already Emergency Medical Technicians. Applicants must be 16 years of age and live or work in the Village of Oriskany Falls, Knoxboro or our coverage territory. No experience is necessary and we provide the training and protective equipment. If your are interested, message us on Facebook or call the number below. We need your help so we can continue to help you and our community.
The Jr./Sr. Prom is this Saturday, May 7! Family, friends and relatives are invited to attend the Coronation (Grand March) taking place at 6:00 p.m. in the Jr./Sr. High Auditorium! Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Admission for the Coronation is $1 per person (collected at the door), elementary students and younger are free. Also, for those attending the Prom, dinner and dessert are included at the event!
While we’re busy replacing our carpets and setting up the Creative Media Lab, on site programming will be limited…that’s why we’re encouraging you to participate in our “Get Caught Reading” photo contest! During the month of May grab your favorite book (or the one you’re reading at the moment), find a fun place to read (inside/outside/upside down even) and have someone take your picture! Then, email it to us at watervillecommunications@midyork.org to enter for a chance to win a fun prize (TBA)! Submissions will be displayed on the “Programs & Extras” page of our website. Voting will take place on our Facebook and Instagram pages beginning May 23rd and ending May 30th. So, tell your friends and family to cast their votes… and don’t forget to vote yourself! The winner will be announced through social media May 31st and notified via email!
This May, we interrupt our regularly scheduled… everything! But hopefully not too much! The temptation to fill the month with loads of events is real. But we’re resisting so that we can complete the carpeting and Creative Media Lab swiftly and well. At the moment, we are pausing all donations of anything besides sturdy boxes. More details as we have them! If you have teens who need volunteer hours, we will be able to provide plenty of them!
Your feedback is telling us that you’re not seeing some of our events pop up like you used to! As so many of you use Gmail and Google Calendar, we thought we would start by offering email invitations when WPL creates events on our own calendar. You’ll receive an email stating what the event is, and an offer to add it to your own Google calendar. To opt in to this, just select the event categories you’re interested in using the following form: https://forms.gle/8HYUsYcwHeFa1mnv8 This will collect your email only for the purpose of these Google Calendar notifications. If you don’t have Gmail or just want more library love, we recommend signing up for WPL’s monthly eNewsletter here: https://share.hsforms.com/1hGwylD4ERLOD3-t812_iWAc78ln Of course, you can always check the calendar on our website as well at https://www.watervillepl.org/calendar-of-events/ (you can use this to reserve the Program or study rooms too)!
